Andersen's Fairy Tales, The Dream of Little Tuk, sentence 47

From out the hill-side spouted fountains in thick streams of water, so that there was a continual splashing; and close beside them sat an old king with a golden crown upon his white head: that was King Hroar, near the fountains, close to the town of Roeskilde, as it is now called.

Who acts: Tuk, that · What happens: spout, be, close, sit, call · To what, where: continual splashing, old king, King Hroar, confusion · Speech: someone speaks here
