The man who married the moon, and other Pueblo Indian folk-stories, The Brown Story-tellers, sentence 4

And to-day, if we would seek the place where fairy stories most flourish, we must go, not to the nations whose countless educated minds are now devoted to story-telling for the young, but to peoples who have no books, no magazines, no alphabets--even no pictures.

Who acts: we, fairy stories, story, peoples · What happens: seek, flourish, go, devote, tell, have · To what, where: place, countless educated minds, story, books · Speech: someone speaks here
