Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen, Third Visit, sentence 11

It was droll to look at, or you may say it was mournful--all depends on what you think of when you see it; and I thought about it, and thought this and that of many things that were in the cart: or I might have done so, and that comes to the same thing.

Who acts: It, you, cart, all, I, many things · What happens: be, look, say, depend, think, see · To what, where: cart, this, many things, same thing · Speech: someone speaks here
