Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen, The Goblin and the Huckster, sentence 19

"Of course I know," replied the cask: "poetry is something that always stand in the corner of a newspaper, and is sometimes cut out; and I may venture to affirm that I have more of it in me than the student has, and I am only a poor tub of the huckster's."

Who acts: cask, poetry, student · What happens: know, reply, be, stand, cut out, venture · To what, where: something, corner, more, poor tub · Speech: someone speaks here
