Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen, Anne Lisbeth, sentence 177

The spectre of the shore, her own child, had come to her the night before, and had said to her, "Thou hast dug me only half a grave: but thou hast now, for a year and a day, buried me altogether in thy heart, and it is there a mother can best hide her child!"

Who acts: spectre, Thou, mother · What happens: come, say, have, dig, bury, be · To what, where: Anne, me, heart · Speech: someone speaks here
