The Green Fairy Book, Sylvain and Jocosa, sentence 55

So, believing that their children’s fortunes were made, they embraced them and sent them forth, bidding them get as far away as possible, to take different roads, and to send news of their welfare.

Who acts: children · What happens: believe, make, embrace, send, bid, get · To what, where: fortunes, hearts, children, different roads, news · Speech: someone speaks here
