The man looked up and said, “I see people. They look like trees, only they are walking around.”
And he looked up, and said, I see men as trees, walking.
And he looked up and said, I see people, but [they look] like trees, walking.
And he looked up, and said, I see men; for I behold them as trees, walking.
And looking up, he said, "I see men but they are like walking trees."
