Russian Fairy Tales: A Choice Collection of Muscovite Folk-lore, Chapter I. INTRODUCTORY, part 1, sentence 47

We hear the songs and laughter of the girls beside the stream or pool which ripples pleasantly against its banks in the summer time, but in the winter shows no sign of life, except at the spot, much frequented by the wives and daughters of the village, where an "ice-hole" has been cut in its massive pall.

Who acts: We, pool, hole · What happens: hear, ripple, show, frequent, cut, sign · To what, where: songs, banks, sign, ice hole, massive pall, life
