Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen, The Jewish Maiden, sentence 3

During the hour of this lesson, the Jewish girl was allowed to learn her geography, or to work her sum for the next day; and when her geography lesson was perfect, the book remained open before her, but she read not another word, for she sat silently listening to the words of the Christian teacher.

Who acts: Jewish girl, geography lesson, book, girl · What happens: allow, learn, work, be, remain, not read · To what, where: Jewish girl, geography, sum, word, Christian teacher
