We had better take "persons" as Universe.
We may choose "myself" as 'Middle Term', in which case the Premisses will take the form

  I am a-person-who-sent-him-to-bring-a-kitten;

  I am a-person-to-whom-he-brought-a-kettle-by-mistake.

Or we may choose "he" as 'Middle Term', in which case the Premisses will take the form

  He is a-person-whom-I-sent-to-bring-me-a-kitten;

  He is a-person-who-brought-me-a-kettle-by-mistake.

The latter form seems best, as the interest of the anecdote clearly depends on HIS stupidity—not on what happened to ME.
Let us then make m = "he"; x = "persons whom I sent, &c."; and y = "persons who brought, &c."

  Hence, All m are x;

         All m are y.
