Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen, The Story of the Year, sentence 116

Do you remember how we came as children to this land of the north; we brought with us flowers and bright sunshine, and green to the forests, but the wind has been rough with them, and they are now become dark and brown, like the trees of the south, but they do not, like them, bear golden fruit."

Who acts: you, we, wind, flowers · What happens: remember, come, bring, be, become, not do · To what, where: land, flowers, golden fruit · Speech: someone speaks here
