Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen, The Shadow, sentence 49

That was very vexatious; but in warm countries everything grows very quickly; and, after a week had passed, he saw, to his great joy, that a new shadow was growing from his feet, when he walked in the sunshine; so that the root must have remained.

Who acts: That, everything, music, new shadow · What happens: be, grow, pass, see, walk, remain · To what, where: warm countries, week, sunshine, root
