Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen, The Little Mermaid, part 3, sentence 16

You will never return through the water to your sisters, or to your father's palace again; and if you do not win the love of the prince, so that he is willing to forget his father and mother for your sake, and to love you with his whole soul, and allow the priest to join your hands that you may be man and wife, then you will never have an immortal soul.

Who acts: You, prince, priest, hands · What happens: not return, not win, be, forget, love, allow · To what, where: sisters, water, love, father, you, priest
