Heat, sun and cold on sports day, sentence 3
Cold is a danger too: on a dreich, Baltic morning in Edinburgh (Scots for grey and drizzly, and slang for freezing), cold muscles strain more easily, and a child who is shivering hard, pale and mumbling must be warmed slowly, never dumped in a hot bath.
Who acts: Cold, cold muscles, child, danger · What happens: be, strain, shiver, mumble, warm, not dump · To what, where: danger, child, hot bath
