Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen, The Thorny Road of Honor, sentence 9

Out of the "Clouds" of Aristophanes, satire and humor are pouring down in streams upon the audience; on the stage Socrates, the most remarkable man in Athens, he who had been the shield and defence of the people against the thirty tyrants, is held up mentally and bodily to ridicule--Socrates, who saved Alcibiades and Xenophon in the turmoil of battle, and whose genius soared far above the gods of the ancients.

Who acts: Clouds, Athens, pouring, Socrates, genius · What happens: pour down, be, hold up, ridicule, save, soar · To what, where: streams, shield, Socrates, Alcibiades, turmoil, Aristophanes
