Cossack Fairy Tales and Folk Tales, The Story of Unlucky Daniel, sentence 115

From a horse hast thou sprung, and now they will fell thee before thou hast lived a day!"--"Never mind," said the cherry-tree; "take the first chip that falls from me, and throw it into the water."--Then they cut down the cherry-tree; but the girl did as she was bidden, and threw the first chip from the cherry-tree into the water, and out of it swam a drake so beautiful that it was a delight to look upon it.

Who acts: thou, maidens, first chip, girl, tree · What happens: have, spring, fall, live, not mind, say · To what, where: thou, thee, cherry tree, first chip, tree, water · Speech: someone speaks here
