Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen, First Visit, sentence 33
And in the midst of the pleasure that was afforded by the mere meeting of these folks, there shot up out of the great dirt-heap at Amack a stem, a tree, an immense flower, a great mushroom, a perfect roof, which formed a sort of warehouse for the worthy company, for in it hung everything they had given to the world during the Old Year.
Who acts: mere meeting, perfect roof, sort, stem · What happens: afford, shoot up, form, hang, give, sort · To what, where: pleasure, midst, sort, everything, world, warehouse
