Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen, The Eventful Moment--a Most Unusual Journey, sentence 44
The first heart he entered was that of a lady, but he thought he must have got into one of the rooms of an orthopedic institution where plaster casts of deformed limbs were hanging on the walls, with this difference, that the casts in the institution are formed when the patient enters, but here they were formed and preserved after the good people had left.
Who acts: rain, first heart, plaster casts, patient, good people · What happens: enter, be, think, get, deform, hang · To what, where: first heart, walls, casts, hearts · Speech: someone speaks here
