Andersen's Fairy Tales, The Snow Queen, part 2, sentence 19

But they fell close to the bank, and the little waves bore them immediately to land; it was as if the stream would not take what was dearest to her; for in reality it had not got little Kay; but Gerda thought that she had not thrown the shoes out far enough, so she clambered into a boat which lay among the rushes, went to the farthest end, and threw out the shoes.

Who acts: shoes, little waves, stream, Gerda, boat · What happens: fall, bear, land, not be, be, not get · To what, where: shoes, bank, Gerda, little Kay, boat, rushes
