Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen, The Little Mermaid, part 4, sentence 26

Before the sun rises you must plunge it into the heart of the prince; when the warm blood falls upon your feet they will grow together again, and form into a fish's tail, and you will be once more a mermaid, and return to us to live out your three hundred years before you die and change into the salt sea foam.

Who acts: you, warm blood, feet · What happens: rise, plunge, fall, grow, form, be · To what, where: help, heart, feet, tail, us, sea foam
