Andersen's Fairy Tales, The Little Match Girl, sentence 13

Her little feet she had drawn close up to her, but she grew colder and colder, and to go home she did not venture, for she had not sold any matches and could not bring a farthing of money: from her father she would certainly get blows, and at home it was cold too, for above her she had only the roof, through which the wind whistled, even though the largest cracks were stopped up with straw and rags.

Who acts: maiden, farthing, wind · What happens: draw, grow, go, not venture, not sell, not bring · To what, where: little feet, matches, farthing, blows, home, roof
