Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen, Third Visit, sentence 1

On this occasion I chose the general "moving-day" for my visit to Ole, for on that day it is anything but agreeable down in the streets in the town; for they are full of sweepings, shreds, and remnants of all sorts, to say nothing of the cast-off rubbish in which one has to wade about.

Who acts: I, remnants, visit, streets, one, my · What happens: choose, move, be, say, have, wade · To what, where: general, occasion, anything, streets, nothing, off rubbish · Speech: someone speaks here
