Tanglewood Tales, The Dragon's Teeth., part 2, sentence 24

The very first decree of state which King Phoenix issued was, that, if a maiden happened to arrive in the kingdom, mounted on a snow-white bull, and calling herself Europa, his subjects should treat her with the greatest kindness and respect, and immediately bring her to the palace.

Who acts: King, first decree, that, subjects, state · What happens: issue, be, happen, arrive, mount, call · To what, where: state, kingdom, maiden, palace · Speech: someone speaks here
