Andersen's Fairy Tales, The Shadow, sentence 204

We give our servants finer cloth for their livery than we ourselves use, and so I had my shadow trimmed up into a man: yes, you see I have even given him a shadow.

Who acts: We, I, you, my · What happens: give, use, have, trim up, see, shadow · To what, where: finer cloth, servants, shadow, person · Speech: someone speaks here
