Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen, The Storm Shakes the Shield, sentence 36

The storm would not leave this little sentry-house alone, but must needs tear it from its fastenings, and roll it down the street; and, wonderfully enough, it stopped opposite to the door of the dirty journeyman plasterer, who had saved three lives at the last fire, but the sentry-house thought nothing of that.

Who acts: storm, this, sentry house · What happens: not leave, house, need, tear, roll down, stop · To what, where: storm, dirty journeyman plasterer, last fire, nothing
