Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen, The Will-o-the Wisp Is in the Town, Says the Moor Woman, sentence 5

The stork and the swallows came back from their long journey, for they thought of no danger; and, behold, when they arrived, the nest was burnt, the habitations of men were burnt, the hedges were all in disorder, and everything seemed gone, and the enemy's horses were stamping in the old graves.

Who acts: stork, hedges, everything, horses · What happens: come back, think, arrive, burnt, be, seem · To what, where: long journey, nest, habitations, disorder, old graves
