Legends and tales of the Harz Mountains, Legends and Tales., part 8, sentence 98

Tidian found a tiny blue flower, attracted to it by its perfume and its beauty, which must have been one of these miracle-working plants, for no sooner had he stuck it in his hatband than a never-before-seen cave in the side of the mountain opened its splendours to his dazzled eyes.

Who acts: Tidian, beauty, flower · What happens: find, attract, be, work, have, stick · To what, where: tiny blue flower, flower, one, hatband, splendours, dazzled eyes
