Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen, A Great Grief, sentence 19

Puggie had died in the morning, and was to be buried in this part of the yard; the grandchildren of the widow (that is, of the tanner's widow, for Puggie had never been married) filled up the grave, and it was a beautiful grave--it must have been quite pleasant to lie there.

Who acts: Puggie, that, widow, it · What happens: die, bury, be, not marry, fill up, lie · To what, where: grandchildren, part, Puggie, grave, beautiful grave
