[336] So in the Indian story of Punchkin, the seven hungry stepmother-persecuted princesses go out every day and sit by their dead mother's tomb, and cry, and say, "Oh, mother, mother, cannot you see your poor children, how unhappy we are," etc., until a tree grows up out of the grave laden with fruits for their relief.

Who acts: 336, you, tree · What happens: persecute, go out, sit, cry, say, not see · To what, where: Indian story, poor children, grave · Speech: someone speaks here
