Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen, (written For the Schiller Album), sentence 51
The wind roared around it, and could have readily related the story of its origin and of its sweet chimes, and the wind could also tell of him to whom he had brought fresh air when, in the woods of a neighboring country, he had sunk down exhausted with fatigue, with no other worldly possessions than hope for the future, and a written leaf from "Fiesco."
Who acts: wind · What happens: roar, relate, tell, bring, neighbor, sink down · To what, where: written leaf, comfort, story, fresh air, woods · Speech: someone speaks here
