Russian Fairy Tales: A Choice Collection of Muscovite Folk-lore, Chapter II. MYTHOLOGICAL, part 11, sentence 76

It is not often that such strips are turned to good account, but in the Skazka with which we have just been dealing, Ivan finding the rope by which he is being lowered into the abyss too short, ties to the end of it the three strips he has cut from the Baba Yaga's back, and so makes it sufficiently long.

Who acts: Skazka, Ivan, rope · What happens: be, find, lower, tie, cut, make · To what, where: practice, rope, Ivan, abyss, Skazka, three strips
