Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen, The Wild Swans, part 1, sentence 16

Poor little Eliza was alone in her room playing with a green leaf, for she had no other playthings, and she pierced a hole through the leaf, and looked through it at the sun, and it was as if she saw her brothers' clear eyes, and when the warm sun shone on her cheeks, she thought of all the kisses they had given her.

Who acts: Poor little Eliza, room, wood, hole, warm sun, birds · What happens: be, play, have, pierce, look, shine · To what, where: room, other playthings, hole, cheeks, wood
