Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen, The Daisy, sentence 61

It could not move one of its leaves, but the fragrance of its delicate petals streamed forth, and was much stronger than such flowers usually have: the bird noticed it, although it was dying with thirst, and in its pain tore up the green blades of grass, but did not touch the flower.

Who acts: console, such flowers, bird · What happens: not move, stream, be, have, notice, die · To what, where: one, delicate petals, console, green blades, pain, flower
