Andersen's Fairy Tales, The Snow Queen, part 2, sentence 38

And Gerda told her all; and the old woman shook her head and said, “A-hem! a-hem!” and when Gerda had told her everything, and asked her if she had not seen little Kay, the woman answered that he had not passed there, but he no doubt would come; and she told her not to be cast down, but taste her cherries, and look at her flowers, which were finer than any in a picture-book, each of which could tell a whole story.

Who acts: Gerda, old woman, woman, Kay, flowers, whole story · What happens: tell, shake, say, ask, not see, answer · To what, where: Woman, head, everything, Gerda, little Kay, Kay · Speech: someone speaks here
