Andersen's Fairy Tales, The Dream of Little Tuk, sentence 33

The morn now came; and as soon as the sun appeared, the whole town and the king's palace crumbled together, and one tower after the other; and at last only a single one remained standing where the castle had been before,* and the town was so small and poor, and the school boys came along with their books under their arms, and said, “2000 inhabitants!” but that was not true, for there were not so many.

Who acts: morn, sun, palace, last, castle, town · What happens: come, appear, crumble, remain, stand, be · To what, where: whole town, one tower, 2000 inhabitants · Speech: someone speaks here
