Andersen's Fairy Tales, The Shoes of Fortune, part 5, sentence 79

Lake Thracymene, illumined by the evening sun, lay like flaming gold between the dark-blue mountain-ridges; here, where Hannibal defeated Flaminius, the rivers now held each other in their green embraces; lovely, half-naked children tended a herd of black swine, beneath a group of fragrant laurel-trees, hard by the road-side.

Who acts: Lake, Hannibal, rivers, lovely naked children · What happens: illumine, lay, flame, defeat, hold, tend · To what, where: Lake, gold, Flaminius, each, green embraces, herd
