Russian Fairy Tales: A Choice Collection of Muscovite Folk-lore, Chapter VI. LEGENDS, part 6, sentence 76

Thus, in a German story[474] we find a schoolmaster deceiving the devil; in one of its Slavonic counterparts[475] a gypsy deludes a snake; in another, current among the Baltic Kashoubes, in place of the snake figures a giant so huge that the thumb of his glove serves as a shelter for the hero of the tale--one which is closely connected with that which tells of Thor and the giant Skrymir.

Who acts: we, schoolmaster, one, current, thumb · What happens: find, deceive, delude, figure, serve, connect · To what, where: schoolmaster, German story, devil, snake, another, a · Speech: someone speaks here
