Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen, The Shepherd's Story of the Bond of Friendship, sentence 80

We dried her clothes as well as we were able, and remained on the water till they were dry; for we did not wish it to be known what a fright we had had, nor the danger which our little adopted sister had incurred, in whose life Aphtanides had now a part.

Who acts: We, waters, little adopted sister, Aphtanides · What happens: dry, be, remain, not wish, know, have · To what, where: clothes, water, splash, fright, danger, life
