Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen, The Daisy, sentence 62

The evening came, and nobody appeared to bring the poor bird a drop of water; it opened its beautiful wings, and fluttered about in its anguish; a faint and mournful "Tweet, tweet," was all it could utter, then it bent its little head towards the flower, and its heart broke for want and longing.

Who acts: evening, nobody, drop, faint Tweet, heart · What happens: come, appear, bring, open, flutter, be · To what, where: drop, poor bird, beautiful wings, anguish, little head
