Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen, Under the Willow-tree, part 1, sentence 84
Joanna was not proud at all; he noticed that through her he was invited by her parents to remain the whole evening with them, and she poured out the tea and gave him a cup herself; and afterwards she took a book and read aloud to them, and it seemed to Knud as if the story was all about himself and his love, for it agreed so well with his own thoughts.
Who acts: Joanna, father, parents, girl, it, story · What happens: not be, notice, invite, remain, pour out, give · To what, where: all, father, tea, cup, book, parents · Speech: someone speaks here
