Andersen's Fairy Tales, The Shadow, sentence 102
I was there for three weeks, and that has as much effect as if one had lived three thousand years, and read all that was composed and written; that is what I say, and it is right.
Who acts: I, that, one, effect · What happens: be, have, live, read, compose, write · To what, where: much effect, that · Speech: someone speaks here
