Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen, Third Visit, sentence 43
Perhaps quite a little one, one that we have forgotten, but which has been recorded--small as a pea, but the pea can send out a blooming shoot.
Who acts: pea · What happens: forget, record, send out, bloom · To what, where: that, blooming shoot
