Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen, The Portuguese Duck, sentence 51

But that does not disturb us, we quietly go on in our own way among the rest, whose ideas are certainly not ours; for we look at the bright side of things, and only speak what is good, although that is sometimes very difficult to find where none exists.

Who acts: that, we, ideas, none · What happens: not disturb, go on, not be, look, speak, be · To what, where: us, own way, ours · Speech: someone speaks here
