Andersen's Fairy Tales, The Old House, sentence 25

One of the pots was quite overrun on all sides with pinks, that is to say, with the green part; shoot stood by shoot, and it said quite distinctly, “The air has cherished me, the sun has kissed me, and promised me a little flower on Sunday! a little flower on Sunday!”

Who acts: that, shoot · What happens: overrun, be, stand, say, cherish, kiss · To what, where: One, sides, air, sun, little flower, shoot · Speech: someone speaks here
