Andersen's Fairy Tales, The Snow Queen, part 5, sentence 45

It was so beautiful, that even the blocks of ice danced about for joy; and when they were tired and laid themselves down, they formed exactly the letters which the Snow Queen had told him to find out; so now he was his own master, and he would have the whole world and a pair of new skates into the bargain.

Who acts: joy, that, blocks, Snow Queen, letters, Hereupon · What happens: be, dance, lay down, form, tell, find out · To what, where: blocks, letters, Hereupon, own master, whole world, bargain · Speech: someone speaks here
