Andersen's Fairy Tales, The Old House, sentence 45

Then he took a book with pictures in it down from the shelf; there were whole long processions and pageants, with the strangest characters, which one never sees now-a-days; soldiers like the knave of clubs, and citizens with waving flags: the tailors had theirs, with a pair of shears held by two lions--and the shoemakers theirs, without boots, but with an eagle that had two heads, for the shoemakers must have everything so that they can say, it is a pair!

Who acts: window, whole long processions, one, citizens, that, shoemakers · What happens: take down, be, not see, have, hold, say · To what, where: book, tailors, shears, two heads, everything, pair · Speech: someone speaks here
