Andersen's Fairy Tales, The Snow Queen, part 5, sentence 74
The roses on the leads hung blooming in at the open window; there stood the little children's chairs, and Kay and Gerda sat down on them, holding each other by the hand; they both had forgotten the cold empty splendor of the Snow Queen, as though it had been a dream.
Who acts: roses, Kay, children, splendor · What happens: hang, bloom, stand, sit down, hold, forget · To what, where: open window, chairs, each, cold empty splendor, dream
