Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen, A Story From the Sand-hills, part 3, sentence 63

One of the girls, whose name was Else, had known Jurgen from childhood; they were glad to see each other, and were of the same opinion on many points, but in appearance they were entirely opposite; for he was dark, and she was pale, and fair, and had flaxen hair, and eyes as blue as the sea in sunshine.

Who acts: fishermen, One, Jurgen, Martin, eyes, girls · What happens: know, be, see, have, name · To what, where: childhood, each, many points, appearance, flaxen hair, sunshine
