Andersen's Fairy Tales, The Dream of Little Tuk, sentence 74

But even in this sleep there came a dream, or whatever else it was: his little sister Augusta, she with the blue eyes and the fair curling hair, was suddenly a tall, beautiful girl, and without having wings was yet able to fly; and she now flew over Zealand--over the green woods and the blue lakes.

Who acts: sleep, Augusta · What happens: come, be, have, fly · To what, where: dream, tall beautiful girl, wings, Zealand
