Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen, Third Visit, sentence 55

I fancy that Death took these two teeth out of the savings bank of life, and gave them to Louis XI, to carry with him on the great journey into the land of immortality; they fly before him like two flames of fire; they shine and burn, and they bite him, the innocent children's teeth.

Who acts: I, Death, life, fire · What happens: fancy, take, give, carry, fly, shine · To what, where: two teeth, savings bank, life, great journey, death
