Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen, Everything in the Right Place, sentence 48

Especially above, where the large boughs parted, there was quite a hanging garden, in which wild raspberries and hart's-tongue ferns throve, and even a little mistletoe had taken root, and grew gracefully in the old willow branches, which were reflected in the dark water beneath when the wind blew the chickweed into the corner of the pool.

Who acts: hanging garden, wind · What happens: part, hang, be, throve, take, grow · To what, where: large boughs, hanging garden, little mistletoe, old willow branches, dark water, chickweed
