Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen, The Bell, sentence 59

The king's son often stood still and listened; sometimes he thought that the sound of the bell rose up to him out of one of these deep lakes, but soon he found that this was a mistake, and that the bell was ringing still farther in the wood.

Who acts: son, sound, this, bell · What happens: stand, listen, think, rise up, find, be · To what, where: son, mistake, wood · Speech: someone speaks here
