Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen, The Bell, sentence 56

But he walked on undaunted, deeper and deeper into the wood, where the most wonderful flowers were growing; there were standing white star lilies with blood-red stamens, sky-blue tulips shining when the wind moved them; apple-trees covered with apples like large glittering soap bubbles: only think how resplendent these trees were in the sunshine!

Who acts: son, wonderful flowers, sky blue tulips, wind · What happens: walk, grow, be, stand, shine, move · To what, where: apple trees, undaunted, white star lilies, lilies, sunshine
