Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen, The Bell, sentence 49

"Then we shall not meet," said the king's son, nodding to the poor boy, who went into the deepest part of the wood, where the thorns tore his shabby clothes and scratched his hands, face, and feet until they bled.

Who acts: we, son, poor boy, thorns · What happens: not meet, say, nod, go, tore, scratch · To what, where: feet, poor boy, deepest part, shabby clothes, hands · Speech: someone speaks here
