Andersen's Fairy Tales, The Snow Queen, part 1, sentence 117

On they flew over woods and lakes, over seas, and many lands; and beneath them the chilling storm rushed fast, the wolves howled, the snow crackled; above them flew large screaming crows, but higher up appeared the moon, quite large and bright; and it was on it that Kay gazed during the long long winter's night; while by day he slept at the feet of the Snow Queen.

Who acts: inhabitants, wolves, snow, higher, countenance · What happens: fly, rush, howl, crackle, scream, appear · To what, where: many lands, woods, chilling storm, large screaming crows, moon, snow
