Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen, The Lapland Woman and the Finland Woman, sentence 21

But the reindeer begged so hard for little Gerda, and Gerda looked at the Finland woman with such beseeching tearful eyes, that her own eyes began to twinkle again; so she drew the reindeer into a corner, and whispered to him while she laid a fresh piece of ice on his head, "Little Kay is really with the Snow Queen, but he finds everything there so much to his taste and his liking, that he believes it is the finest place in the world; but this is because he has a piece of broken glass in his heart, and a little piece of glass in his eye.

Who acts: reindeer, Gerda, own eyes, Little Kay, Kay, piece · What happens: beg, look, beseech, begin, twinkle, draw · To what, where: this, reindeer, corner, fresh piece, everything, finest place · Speech: someone speaks here
