Russian Fairy Tales: A Choice Collection of Muscovite Folk-lore, Chapter I. INTRODUCTORY, part 3, sentence 59

At last a fox comes by, and on being appealed to, begins to cry aloud "Turu-Turu, grandmother! grandfather has killed thee!"--a wail which pleases the widower so much that he hands over the fowls to the fox at once, and asks, enraptured, for "that strain again!"

Who acts: last fox, wail, fox · What happens: come by, appeal, begin, cry, kill, please · To what, where: Turu grandfather, widower, fowls · Speech: someone speaks here
