Three brothers, _Ekata_ (_i.e._ the first), _Dwita_ (_i.e._ the second) and _Trita_ (_i.e._ the third) were travelling in a desert, and being distressed with thirst, came to a well, from which the youngest, Trita, drew water and gave it to his brothers; in requital, they drew him into the well, in order to appropriate his property and having covered the top with a cart-wheel, left him in the well.

Who acts: Three brothers, thirst, Trita, brothers · What happens: travel, distress, come, draw, give, appropriate · To what, where: desert, well, water, brothers, Trita, requital
