Andersen's Fairy Tales, The Dream of Little Tuk, sentence 14

Well, there he lay, and thought and thought, and all at once it was just as if someone kissed his eyes and mouth: he slept, and yet he did not sleep; it was as though the old washerwoman gazed on him with her mild eyes and said, “It were a great sin if you were not to know your lesson tomorrow morning.

Who acts: thought, lesson, you · What happens: lie, think, be, sleep, not sleep, say · To what, where: all, great sin, lesson · Speech: someone speaks here
