Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen, The Golden Treasure, sentence 180

His eyes were as clear and his face was as radiant as sunshine; and he held his mother in his arms, and she kissed his mouth, and wept as blissfully as any one can weep for joy; and he nodded at every old piece of furniture in the room, at the cupboard with the tea-cups, and at the flower-vase.

Who acts: eyes, face, mother, one · What happens: be, hold, kiss, weep, nod · To what, where: mother, arms, mouth, old piece
