The Happy Prince, and Other Tales, Opening, part 4, sentence 32

“Sometimes, indeed, the neighbours thought it strange that the rich Miller never gave little Hans anything in return, though he had a hundred sacks of flour stored away in his mill, and six milch cows, and a large flock of woolly sheep; but Hans never troubled his head about these things, and nothing gave him greater pleasure than to listen to all the wonderful things the Miller used to say about the unselfishness of true friendship.

Who acts: neighbours, rich Miller, friend, Hans, nothing, Miller · What happens: think, not give, have, store away, not trouble, give · To what, where: Miller, anything, return, hundred sacks, mill, head · Speech: someone speaks here
