Andersen's Fairy Tales, The Leap-frog, sentence 12

The old councillor, who had had three orders given him to make him hold his tongue, asserted that the Leap-frog was a prophet; for that one could see on his back, if there would be a severe or mild winter, and that was what one could not see even on the back of the man who writes the almanac.

Who acts: old councillor, three orders, councillor, Leap frog, one, severe winter · What happens: have, give, make, hold, assert, be · To what, where: three orders, councillor, tongue, prophet, back, almanac
