Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen, Little Tuk, sentence 14

He slept and yet he did not sleep; and it appeared as if the old washerwoman looked at him with kind eyes and said, "It would be a great pity if you did not know your lesson to-morrow morning; you helped me, and now I will help you, and Providence will always keep those who help themselves;" and at the same time the book under Tuk's pillow began to move about. "

Who acts: Tuk, it, old washerwoman, washerwoman, you, I · What happens: sleep, not sleep, appear, look, say, be · To what, where: great pity, lesson, me, you, those, lessons · Speech: someone speaks here
