Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen, Third Visit, sentence 44

The poor bumpkin who sat on a low stool in the corner, and was jeered at and flouted, will perhaps have his worn-out stool given him as a provision; and the stool may become a litter in the land of eternity, and rise up then as a throne, gleaming like gold and blooming as an arbor.

Who acts: poor bumpkin, worn out stool, stool · What happens: sit, jeer, flout, have, wear, give · To what, where: low stool, worn out stool, bumpkin, litter
