Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen, The Travelling Companion, part 2, sentence 13

The sun shone brightly in the blue firmament above, and through the clear mountain air came the sound of the huntsman's horn, and the soft, sweet notes brought tears into his eyes, and he could not help exclaiming, "How good and loving God is to give us all this beauty and loveliness in the world to make us happy!"

Who acts: sun, soft sweet notes, God · What happens: shine, come, bring, not help, exclaim, be · To what, where: blue firmament, sound, clear mountain air, tears, eyes, us · Speech: someone speaks here
