Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen, The Lapland Woman and the Finland Woman, sentence 31
"Oh, I have forgotten my boots and my mittens," cried little Gerda, as soon as she felt the cutting cold, but the reindeer dared not stop, so he ran on till he reached the bush with the red berries; here he set Gerda down, and he kissed her, and the great bright tears trickled over the animal's cheeks; then he left her and ran back as fast as he could.
Who acts: little Gerda, Gerda, reindeer · What happens: forget, cry, feel, stop, run, reach · To what, where: boots, cutting, bush, Gerda, great bright tears, cheeks · Speech: someone speaks here
