Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen, Everything in the Right Place, sentence 96

Of course this is only a little incident, but it has its good sound like the poor widow's two mites in the Bible, the sound which echoes in the depth of every human heart; and this is what the poet ought to show and point out--more especially in our own time he ought to sing of this; it does good, it mitigates and reconciles!

Who acts: this, incident, sound, poet · What happens: be, have, echo, show, point out, sing · To what, where: little incident, good sound, depth
