Russian Fairy Tales: A Choice Collection of Muscovite Folk-lore, Chapter II. MYTHOLOGICAL, part 6, sentence 63
You've been flying through Russia, and got the air up your nostrils, that's why you fancy it's here," answered Prince Ivan's mother, and then she drew nigh to Koshchei, addressed him in terms of affection, asked him about one thing and another, and at last said:
Who acts: You, that, air, mother · What happens: fly, get up, be, fancy, answer, draw · To what, where: Russia, air, mother, Koshchei, terms, last · Speech: someone speaks here
