Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen, The Wild Swans, part 1, sentence 52

The lake was so clear that, had not the wind rustled the branches of the trees and the bushes, so that they moved, they would have appeared as if painted in the depths of the lake; for every leaf was reflected in the water, whether it stood in the shade or the sunshine.

Who acts: lake, wind, winds · What happens: be, not rustle, move, appear, paint, reflect · To what, where: branches, depths, water, shade
