>The husband takes a pot off the fire from the stove. >In the living-room behind him is crying a baby. >To the kitchen is falling a teddy bear. >He looks in a great hurry.
You have two sentences in a row that use the, "is verbing a noun," construction. It isn't incorrect, but it's an unusual construction. Using it for two consecutive sentences sounds weird. Also, it would be sufficient to say that the husband took the pot off the stove, leaving the "fire" to be understood. The following would be more standard: >The husband takes a pot from the stove. >In the living room behind him a baby is crying. >Into the kitchen a teddy bear is falling. >He looks in a great hurry. Because a teddy bear falling to the floor takes only a short time, the third sentence makes the four sentences sound like a photograph of a specific instant. To show some lapse of time from one action to the next, you could change "is falling" to "falls". To add more impact, the teddy bear sentence could be rearranged to put the action up front. And lastly, the fourth sentence isn't quite right. First, it need a couple more words. Second, "he" may be referring to the baby or even the teddy bear, beacuse they have been mentioned more recently. >The husband takes a pot from the stove. >In the living room behind him a baby is crying. >A teddy bear falls into the kitchen. >The man looks to be in a great hurry. I hope this helps.
