Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen, The Story of a Mother, sentence 4

He was wrapped in something that looked like a great horse-cloth; and he required it truly to keep him warm, for it was cold winter; the country everywhere lay covered with snow and ice, and the wind blew so sharply that it cut one's face.

Who acts: man, cloth, wind · What happens: wrap, look, require, keep, be, cover · To what, where: man, something, cloth, country, face
