Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen, The Little Elder-tree Mother, sentence 22

And the little boy looked at the teapot; the lid rose up gradually, the elder-tree blossoms sprang forth one by one, fresh and white; long boughs came forth; even out of the spout they grew up in all directions, and formed a bush--nay, a large elder tree, which stretched its branches up to the bed and pushed the curtains aside; and there were so many blossoms and such a sweet fragrance!

Who acts: little boy, lid, tree blossoms, long boughs, spout, large elder tree · What happens: look, rise up, sprang, come, grow up, form · To what, where: one, directions, bush, branches, curtains
