Uncle Remus, His Songs and His Sayings, Dear Frost:, sentence 10

True, my dear Frost; but if you could see the thousands of letters that have come to me from far and near, and all fresh from the hearts and hands of children, and from men and women who have not forgotten how to be children, you would not wonder at the dream.

Who acts: you, letters, men, children · What happens: see, come, not forget, be, not wonder · To what, where: thousands, me, children, dream
