Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen, The Shepherd's Story of the Bond of Friendship, sentence 86

My mother lighted a fire, and roasted some roots she had brought with her, and I and my little sister slept among the bushes, without fear of the ugly smidraki, from whose throat issues fire, or of the wolf and the jackal; for my mother sat by us, and I considered her presence sufficient protection.

Who acts: mother, I, issues fire · What happens: light, roast, bring, sleep, sit, consider · To what, where: fire, roots, presence, ugly smidraki
