The Green Fairy Book, Prince Narcissus and the Princess Potentilla, sentence 2

The King, who was called Cloverleaf, liked hunting better than anything else; but he nevertheless bestowed as much care upon his kingdom as he felt equal to--that is to say, he never made an end of folding and unfolding the State documents.

Who acts: King, he, that · What happens: call, like, hunt, bestow, feel, be · To what, where: King, end · Speech: someone speaks here
