Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen, Third Visit, sentence 48

There was once a French king--I have forgotten his name, for the names of good people are sometimes forgotten, even by me, but it will come back some day;--there was a king who, during a famine, became the benefactor of his people; and the people raised up to his memory a monument of snow, with the inscription, 'Quicker than this melts didst thou bring help!'

Who acts: French king, I, me, name, king, people · What happens: be, forget, come back, become, raise up, melt · To what, where: name, king, benefactor, monument, memory, help
