Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen, The Will-o-the Wisp Is in the Town, Says the Moor Woman, sentence 25

There he read about Holger Danske; and the man read that the tale had been invented and put together by a monk in France, that it was a romance, "translated into Danish and printed in that language;" that Holger Danske had never really lived, and consequently could never come again, as we have sung, and have been so glad to believe.

Who acts: man, tale, Holger, we · What happens: read, invent, put together, be, translate, print · To what, where: tale, romance, Danish, language · Speech: someone speaks here
