The Yellow Fairy Book, The Steadfast Tin-soldier, sentence 31

If the Tin-soldier had only called out ‘Here I am!’ they must have found him; but he did not think it fitting for him to cry out, because he had on his uniform.

Who acts: I, soldiers, boy · What happens: call out, be, find, not think, fit, cry out · To what, where: Tin soldier, boy, notice, uniform
