Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen, Holger Danske, sentence 48
And then he whose father belonged to my calling,--yes, he, the son of the old image-carver, he whom we ourselves have seen, with his silvery locks and his broad shoulders, whose name is known in all lands;--yes, he was a sculptor, while I am only a carver.
Who acts: grandfather, I, my · What happens: belong, son, see, know, be, call · To what, where: we, name, lands, sculptor, carver · Speech: someone speaks here
