Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen, The Last Dream of the Old Oak, sentence 58

As he grew higher and still higher, with increased strength, his topmost boughs became broader and fuller; and in proportion to his growth, so was his self-satisfaction increased, and with it arose a joyous longing to grow higher and higher, to reach even to the warm, bright sun itself.

Who acts: earth, topmost boughs, satisfaction · What happens: grow, increase, become, be, arise, reach · To what, where: proportion, increased strength, self satisfaction, joyous longing, warm bright sun
