Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen, Second Visit, sentence 30
It is the sixth glass, and with that the germ of all evil shoots up within us; and each one grows up with a strength like that of the grains of mustard-seed, and shoots up into a tree, and spreads over the whole world: and most people have no choice but to go into the oven, to be re-cast in a new form.
Who acts: blood, germ, one, most people · What happens: be, shoot up, grow up, spread, have, go · To what, where: sixth glass, tree, whole world, choice, oven, new form
