Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen, The Little Elder-tree Mother, sentence 106

He placed it in his prayer-book, and when he opened it in distant lands it was always at the place where the flower of remembrance was lying; and the more he looked at it the fresher it became, so that he could almost smell the fragrance of the woods at home.

Who acts: boy, breast, flower · What happens: place, open, be, lie, look, become · To what, where: breast, prayer book, distant lands, place, fresher, fragrance
