Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen, The Pea Blossom, sentence 3

The sun shone without and warmed the shell, and the rain made it clear and transparent; it was mild and agreeable in broad daylight, and dark at night, as it generally is; and the peas as they sat there grew bigger and bigger, and more thoughtful as they mused, for they felt there must be something else for them to do.

Who acts: sun, rain, shell, peas · What happens: shine, warm, make, be, sit, grow · To what, where: shell, broad daylight, peas, something
