Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen, Ninth Evening, sentence 20

Life still flowed through his warm blood, but still he was to die--he himself felt it, and all who stood round him knew it also; therefore his wife was already sewing round him the shroud of furs, that she might not afterwards be obliged to touch the dead body.

Who acts: Life, all, wife · What happens: flow, be, feel, stand, know, sew · To what, where: warm blood, blood, shroud, wife, dead body
