Russian Fairy Tales: A Choice Collection of Muscovite Folk-lore, Chapter I. INTRODUCTORY, part 4, sentence 69

The story of "Semiletka"[41]--a variant of the well known tale of how a woman's wit enables her to guess all riddles, to detect all deceits, and to conquer all difficulties--relates how the heroine was chosen by a Voyvode[42] as his wife, with the stipulation that if she meddled in the affairs of his Voyvodeship she was to be sent back to her father, but allowed to take with her whatever thing belonging to her she prized most.

Who acts: well, wit, story, Voyvode, whatever thing · What happens: know, enable, guess, detect, conquer, relate · To what, where: tale, story, riddles, deceits, difficulties, heroine
