Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen, The Farm-yard Cock and the Weather-cock, sentence 21

All this was new and interesting; that is, for the first time, but afterwards, as the weather-cock found out, they repeated themselves and always told the same stories, and that's very tedious, and there was no one with whom one could associate, for one and all were stale and small-minded.

Who acts: this, that, cocks, one, all · What happens: be, find out, repeat, tell, associate · To what, where: weather cock, cocks, same stories · Speech: someone speaks here
