Folk tales from Tibet, The Story of the Three Thieves., sentence 54

When the Emperor heard that these were his pea-hen’s eggs he was very much pleased, and gave orders that they should at once be taken back to the nest, and the hatching continued; and telling the first Thief to stand back, he enquired of the second what he wished to say.

Who acts: Emperor, eggs, hatching · What happens: hear, be, give, take back, continue, tell · To what, where: Emperor, orders, first Thief · Speech: someone speaks here
