Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen, The Garden of Paradise, sentence 180

The princess smiled, and told him that time had engraved each event on a window-pane in the form of a picture; but, unlike other pictures, all that it represented lived and moved,--the leaves rustled, and the persons went and came, as in a looking-glass.

Who acts: princess, picture, other pictures, leaves, persons · What happens: smile, tell, engrave, represent, live, move · To what, where: prince, event, window pane, other pictures, picture · Speech: someone speaks here
