Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen, The Daisy, sentence 4

One morning it had quite opened, and its little snow-white petals stood round the yellow centre, like the rays of the sun. It did not mind that nobody saw it in the grass, and that it was a poor despised flower; on the contrary, it was quite happy, and turned towards the sun, looking upward and listening to the song of the lark high up in the air.

Who acts: little snow white petals, bank, that, lark · What happens: open, stand, not mind, see, despise, be · To what, where: One morning, bank, grass, poor despised flower, sun, air
