School legends, sentence 11
Pencil "lead" is graphite (a soft, grey, shiny form of carbon) mixed with clay and contains no lead, so it cannot give you lead poisoning; a pencil stab should still be washed and checked because it could get infected.
Who acts: Pencil · What happens: be, mix, contain, not give, wash, check · To what, where: graphite, lead, lead poisoning, you, pencil stab, carbon
