The Green Fairy Book, Sylvain and Jocosa, sentence 64

As there is nothing more agreeable than to command, and nothing to which people get accustomed more quickly, the young Emir soon felt quite at his ease in his new position; but this did not prevent him from making every kind of mistake, and so misgoverning the kingdom that at last the whole city rose in revolt and deprived him at once of his authority and his life--a punishment which he richly deserved, for in the days of his prosperity he disowned the Fowler and his wife, and allowed them to die in poverty.

Who acts: young Emir, this, Emir, people · What happens: be, command, accustom, feel, not prevent, make · To what, where: nothing, people, ease, Emir, kind, kingdom · Speech: someone speaks here
