Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen, The Marsh King's Daughter, part 2, sentence 90

Now the learned men had spoken also of love between this one and that one; of the difference of the love which we have for our neighbor, to the love that exists between parents and children; of the love of the plant for the light, and how the germ springs forth when the sunbeam kisses the ground.

Who acts: learned men, we, love, sunbeam · What happens: learn, speak, have, exist, kiss, love · To what, where: difference, ground, plant · Speech: someone speaks here
