Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen, I. Little Rudy, sentence 18

An hour's walk farther up the ascent lived his grandfather, who cut and carved the pretty little toy-houses; and in the old man's room stood a large press, full of all sorts of carved things--nut-crackers, knives and forks, boxes with beautifully carved foliage, leaping chamois.

Who acts: you, ascent, grandfather · What happens: walk, live, cut, carve, stand, leap · To what, where: grandfather, pretty little toy houses, large press, room, chamois, carved things
