Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen, The Brave Tin Soldier, sentence 65

They placed him on the table, and--how many curious things do happen in the world!--there he was in the very same room from the window of which he had fallen, there were the same children, the same playthings, standing on the table, and the pretty castle with the elegant little dancer at the door; she still balanced herself on one leg, and held up the other, so she was as firm as himself.

Who acts: soldiers, many curious things, fish, same children, same playthings, thing · What happens: place, happen, be, fall, stand, balance · To what, where: fish, table, world, same room, pretty castle, thing
