Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen, The Conceited Apple-branch, sentence 20

No one bound these flowers together in a nosegay; they were too common; they were even known to grow between the paving-stones, shooting up everywhere, like bad weeds; and they bore the very ugly name of "dog-flowers" or "dandelions."

Who acts: one, branches · What happens: bind, be, know, grow, shoot up, bear · To what, where: flowers, branches, paving stones, ugly name, dog flowers
