Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen, The Girl Who Trod on the Loaf, sentence 80

More powerful than the sunbeam that dissolves the man of snow which the children have raised, more quickly than the snowflake melts and becomes a drop of water on the warm lips of a child, was the stony form of Inge changed, and as a little bird she soared, with the speed of lightning, upward to the world of mortals.

Who acts: sunbeam, snowflake, Inge · What happens: dissolve, raise, melt, become, be, change · To what, where: man, children, drop, stony form, speed
