Grimm's Fairy Stories, The Little Brother and Sister, sentence 24

Thus they dwelt in this wilderness, and some time had elapsed when it happened that the King of the country had a great hunt in the forest; and now sounded through the trees the blowing of horns, the barking of dogs, and the lusty cry of the hunters, so that the little Fawn heard them, and wanted very much to join in. "

Who acts: lives, it, King, little Fawn, hunters · What happens: dwell, elapse, happen, have, sound, hear · To what, where: wilderness, time, great hunt, forest, lusty cry, trees
