Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen, The Snow Man, sentence 91
During the whole day the Snow Man stood looking in through the window, and in the twilight hour the room became still more inviting, for from the stove came a gentle glow, not like the sun or the moon; no, only the bright light which gleams from a stove when it has been well fed.
Who acts: Snow Man, room, bright light · What happens: stand, look in, become, invite, come, gleam · To what, where: bright light, gentle glow, stove
