Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen, The Nightingale, sentence 97
The presents of gold and precious stones which had been received with it were round the bird, and it was now advanced to the title of "Little Imperial Toilet Singer," and to the rank of No. 1 on the left hand; for the emperor considered the left side, on which the heart lies, as the most noble, and the heart of an emperor is in the same place as that of other people.
Who acts: presents, heart · What happens: receive, be, advance, consider, lie, title · To what, where: gold, title, left side, same place, Little Imperial Toilet Singer
