The Violet Fairy Book, The Fairy of the Dawn, part 2, sentence 107

How long Petru may have waged battle silently with the cold one cannot tell, for everybody knows that the kingdom of Mittwoch is not to be crossed in a day, but he struggled on, though the frozen rocks burst around, and though his teeth chattered, and even his eyelids were frozen.

Who acts: Petru, everybody, frozen rocks, teeth · What happens: wage, not tell, know, not be, struggle, freeze · To what, where: battle, kingdom, eyelids · Speech: someone speaks here
