Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen, The Brave Tin Soldier, sentence 10

All this was very pretty, but the prettiest of all was a tiny little lady, who stood at the open door of the castle; she, also, was made of paper, and she wore a dress of clear muslin, with a narrow blue ribbon over her shoulders just like a scarf.

Who acts: this, tiny little lady, glass · What happens: be, stand, make, wear · To what, where: open door, glass, dress
