Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen, The Metal Pig, sentence 172

The orders given by the shops in the town were not finished quickly; for the Metal Pig had taught the boy that all objects may be drawn upon paper; and Florence is a picture-book in itself for any one who chooses to turn over its pages.

Who acts: Florence, one, pig · What happens: give, not finish, teach, draw, be, choose · To what, where: orders, town, Metal Pig, boy, objects, picture book
