Russian Fairy Tales: A Choice Collection of Muscovite Folk-lore, Magic and Witchcraft., part 1, sentence 9

We have already seen in the story of "Marya Morevna," that one of these, sometimes called the _mertvaya voda_--the "dead water," or "Water of Death"--when sprinkled over a mutilated corpse, heals all its wounds; while the other, which bears the name of the _zhivaya voda_,--the "living water," or "Water of Life"--endows it once more with vitality.

Who acts: We, corpse · What happens: see, call, sprinkle, mutilate, heal, live · To what, where: story, _ mertvaya voda, Water, mutilated corpse, wounds, name · Speech: someone speaks here
