Cossack Fairy Tales and Folk Tales, The Story of Unlucky Daniel, sentence 34
Then he took and filled three barrels, the first with gold, and the second with coal, and the third with sand, and said to Daniel, "Look now! if thou dost pitch upon that which is filled with gold, thou shalt be a Tsar; if thou dost choose the one that is filled with coal, thou shalt be a blacksmith; but if thou dost pick out the one that is full of sand, why then thou art indeed hopelessly unlucky, and out of my tsardom thou must go straightway, yet I will give thee a horse and armour to take along with thee."
Who acts: Tsar, thou, one, I · What happens: take, fill, say, look, do, be · To what, where: three barrels, Daniel, pitch, that, Tsar, one · Speech: someone speaks here
