Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen, A Story From the Sand-hills, part 1, sentence 58

Sea and moorland have been turned into green meadows, stretches of heather have become arable land, and in the shelter of the peasant's cottages, apple-trees and rose-bushes grow, though they certainly require much care, as the sharp west wind blows upon them.

Who acts: stretches, sharp west wind · What happens: turn, become, grow, require, blow · To what, where: Sea, green meadows, arable land, shelter, much care
