Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen, A Story From the Sand-hills, part 4, sentence 45

His faith had grown strong in the poor fisherman's cottage; the light which had never shone into his father's mind, in all the richness and sunshine of Spain, was sent to him to be his comfort in poverty and distress, a sign of that mercy of God which never fails.

Who acts: faith, God, father · What happens: grow, not shine, send, be, not fail, mind · To what, where: cottage, light, mind, Jurgen, comfort, poverty
