Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen, The Story of the Wind, sentence 105

Amid smoke and ashes, sorrow, and sleepless nights, the hair and beard of the master of the house turned gray, and deep furrows showed themselves around his temples; his skin turned pale and yellow, while his eyes still looked eagerly for gold, the longed-for gold, and the result of his labor was debt instead of gain.

Who acts: Amid smoke, deep furrows, skin, eyes, result · What happens: turn, show, look, long, be, result · To what, where: furrows, temples, debt, labor
