Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen, The Brave Tin Soldier, sentence 5

The soldiers were all exactly alike, excepting one, who had only one leg; he had been left to the last, and then there was not enough of the melted tin to finish him, so they made him to stand firmly on one leg, and this caused him to be very remarkable.

Who acts: soldiers, lid, this · What happens: be, except, have, leave, not be, melt · To what, where: one, one leg, lid, last
