Russian Fairy Tales: A Choice Collection of Muscovite Folk-lore, Chapter I. INTRODUCTORY, part 4, sentence 50

In one of the many variants,[38] for instance, of a widespread and well known story--that of the three princesses who are rescued from captivity by a hero from whom they are afterwards carried away, and who refuse to get married until certain clothes or shoes or other things impossible for ordinary workmen to make are supplied to them--an unfortunate shoemaker is told that if he does not next day produce the necessary shoes (of perfect fit, although no measure has been taken, and all set thick with precious stones) he shall be hanged.

Who acts: hero · What happens: know, rescue, carry away, refuse, not marry, make · To what, where: three princesses, captivity, princesses, ordinary workmen, unfortunate shoemaker, necessary shoes · Speech: someone speaks here
