Andersen's Fairy Tales, The Snow Queen, part 1, sentence 6

One day he was in a very good humor, for he had made a mirror with the power of causing all that was good and beautiful when it was reflected therein, to look poor and mean; but that which was good-for-nothing and looked ugly was shown magnified and increased in ugliness.

Who acts: he, power, that · What happens: be, make, cause, reflect, look, show · To what, where: good humor, mirror, power, nothing, ugliness
