Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen, The Wicked Prince, sentence 22

One drop of blood, one single drop, came out of the white feathers of the angel's wings and fell upon the ship in which the prince sat, burnt into it, and weighed upon it like thousands of hundredweights, dragging it rapidly down to the earth again; the strong wings of the eagles gave way, the wind roared round the prince's head, and the clouds around--were they formed by the smoke rising up from the burnt cities?--took strange shapes, like crabs many, many miles long, which stretched their claws out after him, and rose up like enormous rocks, from which rolling masses dashed down, and became fire-spitting dragons.

Who acts: One drop, prince, strong wings, wind, smoke, rolling masses · What happens: come out, fall, sit, burnt, weigh, drag · To what, where: white feathers, ship, earth, way, head, clouds
