Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen, What the First Little Mouse Saw and Heard on Her Travels, sentence 46

When the morning dawned, and the gentle breeze rippled the glassy mirror of the forest lake, all the delicate veils and flags fluttered away into thin air; the waving garlands of the spider's web, the hanging bridges and galleries, or whatever else they may be called, vanished away as if they had never been.

Who acts: gentle breeze, delicate veils, veils · What happens: dawn, ripple, flutter away, wave, call, vanish away · To what, where: glassy mirror, thin air, veils · Speech: someone speaks here
