Andersen's Fairy Tales, The Snow Queen, part 1, sentence 54

The little girl had learned a hymn, in which there was something about roses; and then she thought of her own flowers; and she sang the verse to the little boy, who then sang it with her:

Who acts: something, Girl, little boy · What happens: learn, be, think, sing · To what, where: little girl, verse, little boy
