Meanwhile Sozh persuaded the Raven to fly straight to Dnieper, and, as soon as it had come up with him to croak three times; he himself was to burrow under the earth, intending to leap to the surface at the cry of the Raven, and by that means to get before his brother.

Who acts: Sozh, way, Dnieper, that, Raven · What happens: persuade, fly, come up, croak, be, intend · To what, where: Raven, Dnieper, earth, cry
