Andersen's Fairy Tales, The Snow Queen, part 3, sentence 119
All the dreams flew in again, and they now looked like the angels; they drew a little sledge, in which little Kay sat and nodded his head; but the whole was only a dream, and therefore it all vanished as soon as she awoke.
Who acts: dreams, little Kay, whole, head, Gerda · What happens: fly, look, draw, sit, nod, be · To what, where: little sledge, head, dream
