Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen, The Neighbouring Families, sentence 113

And the man took out of his portfolio a little book with white leaves: he was a painter, and with his pencil he drew the smoking house, the charred beams and the overhanging chimney, which bent more and more; in the foreground he put the large, blooming rose-bush, which presented a charming view.

Who acts: man, picture, charred beams, rose bush · What happens: take out, be, draw, char, overhang, bend · To what, where: portfolio, painter, smoking house, large, foreground, rose bush
