The Green Fairy Book, Heart of Ice, part 2, sentence 57

It appeared that he, being a rich and powerful monarch, had married a lovely Princess named Birbantine, and they were as happy as the day was long--so happy that as they were out sledging one day they were foolish enough to defy fate to spoil their happiness.

Who acts: It, rich monarch, stories, day · What happens: appear, be, marry, name, sledge, defy · To what, where: rich monarch, lovely Princess, fate, happiness
