Andersen's Fairy Tales, The Dream of Little Tuk, sentence 88

It was bright day, and he was now quite unable to call to mind his dream; that, however, was not at all necessary, for one may not know what the future will bring.

Who acts: name, Soroe, one, future · What happens: be, call, mind, not be, not know, bring · To what, where: bright day, dream, all · Speech: someone speaks here
