Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen, The Farm-yard Cock and the Weather-cock, sentence 8

Now I have a great opinion of the yard cock on the plank; he is certainly of much more importance than the weather-cock who is placed so high and can't even creak, much less crow.

Who acts: I, yard · What happens: have, be, place, not creak, opine · To what, where: great opinion, weather cock, less crow, yard cock
