Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen, The Best Thing the Goloshes Did, sentence 13

Whenever he dozed, he dreamed that he had lost one or another of these possessions; then he would awake with a start, and the first movements of his hand formed a triangle from his right-hand pocket to his breast, and from his breast to his left-hand pocket, to feel whether they were all safe.

Who acts: head, first movements, movements · What happens: doze, dream, lose, awake, form, feel · To what, where: one, triangle, hand pocket, breast, hand · Speech: someone speaks here
