Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen, The Marsh King's Daughter, part 6, sentence 11

"I cannot quite remember the words I heard when I listened on the roof," said stork-papa, while relating the story to his family; "all I know is, that what the wise men said was so complicated and so learned, that they received not only rank, but presents; even the head cook at the great house was honored with a mark of distinction, most likely for the soup."

Who acts: stork papa, all, wise men, men · What happens: not remember, hear, listen, say, relate, know · To what, where: words, story, family, rank, head cook, distinction · Speech: someone speaks here
