Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen, The Philosopher's Stone, sentence 148
It rules over what goes into the mouth, as well as over all which is presented to the mind; and, consequently, this brother took upon himself to taste everything stored up in bottles or jars; this he called the rough part of his work.
Who acts: rules, brother, this, other two · What happens: go, present, take, taste, store up, call · To what, where: mouth, all, mind, rules, everything, bottles · Speech: someone speaks here
