Russian Fairy Tales: A Choice Collection of Muscovite Folk-lore, Chapter VI. LEGENDS, part 2, sentence 50

But with more certainty may it be accepted that, the leading cause was the similarity which appeared to the recent converts to prevail between their dethroned thunder-god and the prophet who was connected with drought and with rain, whose enemies were consumed by fire from on high, and on whom waited "a chariot of fire and horses of fire," when he was caught up by a whirlwind into heaven.

Who acts: leading cause, similarity, fire, whirlwind · What happens: accept, lead, be, appear, prevail, dethrone · To what, where: One, similarity, prophet, enemies, high, chariot
