Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen, The Conceited Apple-branch, sentence 24
The apple-bough had never thought of the boundless love of God, which extends over all the works of creation, over everything which lives, and moves, and has its being in Him; he had never thought of the good and beautiful which are so often hidden, but can never remain forgotten by Him,--not only among the lower creation, but also among men.
Who acts: boundless love, sunbeam, creation · What happens: not think, extend, live, move, have, be · To what, where: apple bough, works, Him, God · Speech: someone speaks here
