The first stork pair who related it lived at the time it happened, and had their summer residence on the rafters of the Viking's house, which stood near the wild moorlands of Wendsyssell; that is, to speak more correctly, the great moorheath, high up in the north of Jutland, by the Skjagen peak.

Who acts: first stork pair, it, house · What happens: relate, live, happen, have, stand, be · To what, where: pair, time, summer residence, rafters, wild moorlands
