Andersen's Fairy Tales, The Snow Queen, part 1, sentence 107

Ah! it was colder than ice; it penetrated to his very heart, which was already almost a frozen lump; it seemed to him as if he were about to die--but a moment more and it was quite congenial to him, and he did not remark the cold that was around him.

Who acts: forehead, heart, it, Prayer, that · What happens: be, penetrate, freeze, seem, die, not remark · To what, where: frozen lump, Prayer, cold
