Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen, The Marsh King's Daughter, part 3, sentence 39

Yes, and I may as well tell you that you that each year, when I arrived a few days before you to repair the nest, and put everything in its place, I have spent a whole night flying here and there over the marshy lake, as if I had been an owl or a bat, but all to no purpose.

Who acts: I, you, whole night · What happens: tell, arrive, repair, put, spend, fly · To what, where: you, nest, everything, place, marshy lake, owl · Speech: someone speaks here
