Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen, The Golden Treasure, sentence 69

The little drummer still kept his healthy color; he had suffered no damage; he looked cheerfully at the dog of the regiment, which was jumping along as merrily as if the whole thing had been got up for his amusement, and as if the bullets were only flying about that he might have a game of play with them.

Who acts: little drummer, drummer, regiment, bullets · What happens: keep, suffer, look, jump, get up, fly · To what, where: healthy color, damage, whole thing, game
