Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen, Third Evening, sentence 1

"In the narrow street round the corner yonder--it is so narrow that my beams can only glide for a minute along the walls of the house, but in that minute I see enough to learn what the world is made of--in that narrow street I saw a woman.

Who acts: corner, beams, I, my · What happens: be, glide, see, learn, make, beam · To what, where: narrow street, walls, world, woman · Speech: someone speaks here
