Russian Fairy Tales: A Choice Collection of Muscovite Folk-lore, Magic and Witchcraft., part 7, sentence 49
Never fear, keep your seat bravely; a second will snap, keep your seat all the same; but when the third hoop snaps, instantly jump on to the horse's back and through the _duga_ (the wooden arch above its neck), and run away backwards.
Who acts: you, second, third hoop · What happens: not fear, keep, snap, jump on, run away · To what, where: seat
