Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen, Little Ida's Flowers, sentence 95

Ida looked that way, and saw a slight carnival rod jumping down among the flowers as if it belonged to them; it was, however, very smooth and neat, and a little wax doll with a broad brimmed hat on her head, like the one worn by the lawyer, sat upon it.

Who acts: Ida, slight carnival rod, rod, little wax doll · What happens: look, see, jump down, belong, be, brim · To what, where: way, slight carnival rod, flowers, head, one, doll
