Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen, The Last Pearl, sentence 9
"No, not everything," said a voice near him--the voice of the good angel of the child; "one fairy has not yet brought her gift, but she will, even if years should elapse, she will bring her gift; it is the last pearl that is wanting."
Who acts: everything, one fairy, years, fairy, voice, that · What happens: say, have, not bring, elapse, bring, be · To what, where: voice, gift, last pearl · Speech: someone speaks here
