Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen, The Girl Who Trod on the Loaf, sentence 40

She had a mother in the world still, and the tears of sorrow which a mother sheds for her child will always find their way to the child's heart, but they often increase the torment instead of being a relief.

Who acts: punishment, mother, tears, face · What happens: have, shed, find, increase, be · To what, where: mother, world, sorrow, way, torment
