For each excerpt determine whether it sets the location, time, or mood in a story. Now it was no easy task
to find a rose, for
it was the middle of winter
By the side of a wood, in a
country a long way off,
ran a fine stream of water,
and upon the stream there
stood a mill
(the Brothers Grimm,
"Rumpelstiltskin")
They journeyed on till it
began to be dusky, and
then the little man said,
"Let me get down,
I'm tired
(the Brothers Grimm,
"Tom Thumb")
(the Brothers Grimm,
"Lily and the Lion")
By a great forest dwelt a
poor woodcutter with his
wife and his two children.
(the Brothers Grimm,
"Hansel and Gretel")
Soon after, the goblin
was waked in the
middle of the night
by a terrible noise and
knocking against the
window shutters and
the house doors and by
the sound of the
watchman's horn. A great
fire had broken out, and
the whole street seemed
full of flames
(Hans Christian Andersen,
"The Goblin and the
Huckster")
