Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen, Second Visit, sentence 17
"Out of the third glass rises a little winged urchin, who cannot certainly be called an angel child, for there is goblin blood in his veins, and he has the spirit of a goblin--not wishing to hurt or harm you, indeed, but very ready to play off tricks upon you.
Who acts: goblin blood, child · What happens: rise, wing, not call, be, have, not wish · To what, where: little winged urchin, third glass, spirit, you, tricks · Speech: someone speaks here
