Andersen's Fairy Tales, The Shoes of Fortune, part 4, sentence 3
The watchman, whom we have certainly not forgotten, thought meanwhile of the galoshes he had found and taken with him to the hospital; he now went to fetch them; and as neither the lieutenant, nor anybody else in the street, claimed them as his property, they were delivered over to the police-office.
Who acts: watchman · What happens: not forget, think, find, take, go, fetch · To what, where: galoshes, police
