Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen, The Flax, sentence 7

"Ah, yes, no doubt," said the fern, "but you do not know the world yet as well as I do, for my sticks are knotty;" and then it sung quite mournfully--

Who acts: doubt, you, sticks · What happens: say, not know, do, be · To what, where: fern, world · Speech: someone speaks here
