Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen, Twentieth Evening, sentence 9

It was only two days ago that the camel, adorned with furs and with costly shawls, had carried her, the beauteous bride, round the walls of the city, while drums and cymbals had sounded, the women sang, and festive shots, of which the bridegroom fired the greatest number, resounded round the camel; and now he was journeying with the caravan across the desert.

Who acts: gourd, drums, women, bridegroom · What happens: be, adorn, carry, round, sound, sing · To what, where: camel, walls, festive shots, greatest number, desert
