Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen, The Races, sentence 45

"It really seems to me," thought the wild rose, though she did not express her opinion aloud--it is not in her nature to do so,--though it would have been quite as well if she had; "it certainly seems to me that the sunbeam ought to have had the honor of receiving the first prize.

Who acts: It, wild rose, Buz, opinion, sunbeam, honor · What happens: seem, think, not express, not be, do, have · To what, where: wild rose, opinion, nature, Buz, honor, first prize · Speech: someone speaks here
