Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen, The Marsh King's Daughter, part 1, sentence 29

"Well, you see, mother," he replied, "she believed what the doctors said, and what I have heard you state also, that the moor-flowers which grow about here would heal her sick father; and she has flown to the north in swan's plumage, in company with some other swan-princesses, who come to these parts every year to renew their youth.

Who acts: you, little, daughter, doctors, moor flowers, other swan princesses · What happens: see, reply, believe, say, hear, state · To what, where: mother, sick father, plumage, parts, youth · Speech: someone speaks here
