Russian Fairy Tales: A Choice Collection of Muscovite Folk-lore, Chapter VI. LEGENDS, part 7, sentence 34

Incomplete as is the account I have given of the Skazkas, it may yet, I trust, be of use to students who wish to compare as many types as possible of the Popular Tale.

Who acts: I, students · What happens: be, give, trust, wish, compare · To what, where: account, many types
