Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen, The Wicked Prince, sentence 19

Hundreds of eagles were attached to this ship, and it rose with the swiftness of an arrow up towards the sun. The earth was soon left far below, and looked, with its mountains and woods, like a cornfield where the plough had made furrows which separated green meadows; soon it looked only like a map with indistinct lines upon it; and at last it entirely disappeared in mist and clouds.

Who acts: ship, swiftness, furrows, last · What happens: attach, rise, arrow up, leave, look, make · To what, where: Hundreds, earth, plough, green meadows, map, mist
