Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen, The Little Mermaid, part 3, sentence 62

As the days passed, she loved the prince more fondly, and he loved her as he would love a little child, but it never came into his head to make her his wife; yet, unless he married her, she could not receive an immortal soul; and, on the morning after his marriage with another, she would dissolve into the foam of the sea.

Who acts: days, mermaid, prince, child · What happens: pass, love, not come, make, marry, not receive · To what, where: prince, mermaid, little child, head, wife, immortal soul
