Cossack Fairy Tales and Folk Tales, Russian Fairy Tales, sentence 33

It is maintained, moreover, by Slavonic scholars that there are peculiar and original elements in these stories not to be found in the folk-lore of other European peoples; such data, for instance, as the magic handkerchiefs (generally beneficial, but sometimes, as in the story of Ivan Golik, terribly baleful), the demon-expelling hemp-and-tar whips, and the magic cattle-teeming egg, so mischievous a possession to the unwary.

Who acts: Slavonic scholars · What happens: maintain, not find, expel, teem · To what, where: variety, folk lore
