Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen, The Marsh King's Daughter, part 3, sentence 19

To her foster-father she said one day, "If thine enemy were to pull down thine house about thy ears, and thou shouldest be sleeping in unconscious security, I would not wake thee; even if I had the power I would never do it, for my ears still tingle with the blow that thou gavest me years ago.

Who acts: child, enemy, thou · What happens: say, pull down, sleep, not wake, have, not do · To what, where: foster father, house, unconscious security, thee, power, blow · Speech: someone speaks here
