Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen, A Story From the Sand-hills, part 1, sentence 113

The child that was to have rested upon a magnificent couch, draped with silken curtains, in a luxurious home; it was to have been welcomed with joy to a life rich in all the good things of this world; and now Heaven had ordained that it should be born in this humble retreat, that it should not even receive a kiss from its mother, for when the fisherman's wife laid the child upon the mother's bosom, it rested on a heart that beat no more--she was dead.

Who acts: Heaven, home, wife, heart, mother · What happens: rest, drape, welcome, ordain, bear, not receive · To what, where: child, magnificent couch, luxurious home, home, humble retreat, kiss
