Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen, In the Uttermost Parts of the Sea, sentence 8

They brought with them furs and skins in great abundance, so that the snow-houses were soon provided with warm carpets, and the furs also served for the sailors to wrap themselves in, when they slept under the roofs of snow, while outside it was freezing with a cold far more severe than in the winter with us.

Who acts: natives, furs, fur · What happens: bring, provide, serve, wrap in, sleep, freeze · To what, where: furs, great abundance, snow houses, natives, roofs
