The Green Fairy Book, The Snuff-box, sentence 60

But he answered that he was so unhappy that he had ceased to mind anything, even being eaten, and then he told her that he had been robbed of a palace that had not its equal in all the world, and of all that was in it, and that he had even left his wife, and was wandering over the world until he found it.

Who acts: sun, palace, all · What happens: answer, be, cease, mind, eat, tell · To what, where: anything, woman, sun, home, wife, world · Speech: someone speaks here
