Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen, The Bottle Neck, sentence 3

In front of the little window, an old bent bird-cage hung in the sunshine, which had not even a proper water-glass, but instead of it the broken neck of a bottle, turned upside down, and a cork stuck in to make it hold the water with which it was filled.

Who acts: sunshine, cork · What happens: hang, not glass, turn down, stick in, make, hold · To what, where: old bent bird cage, sunshine, upside, front, cork, water
