Stories of Charlemagne and the twelve Peers of France, How Huon Returned, His Errand Fulfilled, sentence 76

That is ill hearing," said the giant; "nevertheless I am thankful to Mahomet that he gives me occasion to revenge my brother's death; yet, for I see that you are a brave man, if you will worship Mahomet, I will give you my sister in marriage--and she is a foot higher than I and black as a coal--and the half of my lands."

Who acts: That, I, Huon, you, Mahomet, brother · What happens: be, say, give, see, worship, die · To what, where: ill hearing, giant, occasion, me, brave man, Mahomet · Speech: someone speaks here
