Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen, Under the Willow-tree, part 3, sentence 27
And then he dreamed that it was really the willow-tree itself from Kjoge, which had travelled out in the world to seek him, and now had found him and carried him back into the little garden on the banks of the streamlet; and there stood Joanna, in all her splendor, with the golden crown on her head, as he had last seen her, to welcome him back.
Who acts: Knud, sleep · What happens: dream, be, travell out, seek, find, carry back · To what, where: willow tree, Kjoge, Knud, little garden, Joanna, splendor
