Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen, The Bottle Neck, sentence 65

Certainly the bottle no longer poured forth wine, but it contained something quite as good; and so it happened that whenever Peter Jensen brought it out, his messmates gave it the name of "the apothecary," for it contained the best medicine to cure the stomach, and he gave it out quite willingly as long as a drop remained.

Who acts: wine, it, Peter, messmates · What happens: pour, contain, happen, bring out, give, cure · To what, where: bottle, something, wine, best medicine, stomach, drop
