The Red Fairy Book, The Enchanted Pig, sentence 147

In these wanderings she met with even greater difficulties than before, for she came upon one mountain of flints after another, out of which tongues of fire would flame up; she passed through woods which had never been trodden by human foot, and had to cross fields of ice and avalanches of snow.

Who acts: Princess, human foot, snow · What happens: meet, come, pass, not tread, have, cross · To what, where: wanderings, tongues, woods, fields
