Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen, The Storm Shakes the Shield, sentence 39

That was a very poor joke perpetrated by the gale, which seemed to have forgotten that a man who writes in a paper is not the kind of person to understand any liberty taken with him; for he is a king in his own newspaper, and likewise in his own opinion.

Who acts: That, gale, man · What happens: be, perpetrate, seem, forget, write, not be · To what, where: poor joke, paper, kind, liberty, own newspaper
