Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen, First Visit, sentence 44

I have my own ideas about shooting stars, as the common people in many parts call them, and my idea is this: How often are silent thanksgivings offered up for one who has done a good and noble action!

Who acts: I, common people, idea · What happens: have, shoot, call, be, offer up, do · To what, where: own ideas, ideas, this, silent thanksgivings, good action · Speech: someone speaks here
