Grimms' Fairy Tales, Lily and the Lion, sentence 5

And when the time came for him to go home, he had bought pearls and jewels for the two eldest, but he had sought everywhere in vain for the rose; and when he went into any garden and asked for such a thing, the people laughed at him, and asked him whether he thought roses grew in snow.

Who acts: time, father, people, roses · What happens: come, go, buy, seek, ask, laugh · To what, where: pearls, vain, garden, father, snow · Speech: someone speaks here
