The Green Fairy Book, Heart of Ice, part 1, sentence 36

Sometimes he rescued a lovely Princess from some terrible danger, again he earned a kingdom by some brave deed, until at last he longed to go away and seek his fortune in a far country where his humble birth would not prevent his gaining honour and riches by his courage, and it was with a heart full of ambitious projects that he rode one day into a great city not far from the Fairy’s castle.

Who acts: Prince, humble birth, birth · What happens: rescue, earn, long, go away, seek, not prevent · To what, where: lovely Princess, terrible danger, kingdom, last, fortune, far country
