Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen, The Philosopher's Stone, sentence 106

There were rascally boys of sixty years old--for years do not alone make a man--who raised a tumult, which might have made the Hearer laugh, but for the applause which followed, echoing through every street and house, and was even heard in country roads.

Who acts: boys, man · What happens: be, not make, raise, make, follow, echo · To what, where: man, tumult, street, country roads
