Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen, Third Visit, sentence 34

All the deeds of our life, the great and the little alike, we put into this savings bank; and when Death calls with his omnibus, and we have to step in, and drive with him into the land of eternity, then on the frontier he gives us our service-book as a pass.

Who acts: deeds, Death, we · What happens: put, call, have, step in, drive, give · To what, where: savings bank, land, service book, us, frontier · Speech: someone speaks here
