Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen, In a Thousand Years, sentence 24

Next to Greece, to sleep a night in the grand hotel at the top of Mount Olympus, to say that they have been there; and the journey is continued to the Bosphorus, to rest there a few hours, and see the place where Byzantium lay; and where the legend tells that the harem stood in the time of the Turks, poor fishermen are now spreading their nets.

Who acts: ruins, Byzantium, legend, harem, poor fishermen · What happens: sleep, say, be, continue, rest, see · To what, where: grand hotel, journey, place, nets · Speech: someone speaks here
