Andersen's Fairy Tales, The Snow Queen, part 3, sentence 6

All around it looked so cold and raw: the long willow-leaves were quite yellow, and the fog dripped from them like water; one leaf fell after the other: the sloes only stood full of fruit, which set one's teeth on edge.

Who acts: it, long willow leaves, fog, one leaf, sloes, fruit · What happens: look, be, drip, fall, stand, set · To what, where: teeth, edge
