Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen, Anne Lisbeth, sentence 79
Then she dreamed of something which she had never dreamed before; singularly enough she dreamed of her own child, who had wept and hungered in the laborer's hut, and had been knocked about in heat and in cold, and who was now lying in the depths of the sea, in a spot only known by God.
Who acts: Anne, own child · What happens: dream, not dream, weep, hunger, knock, lie · To what, where: hut, depths, spot
