Cossack Fairy Tales and Folk Tales, The Story of Unlucky Daniel, sentence 53
The lady drew out of one of these springs a little glass of water, and strewing a handful of oats beside it, said, "Fasten up thy horse here!"--"What!" thought he, "for these three days we have had naught to eat or drink, and now she mocks us with a handful of oats!"--Then they went together to the guest-chamber, and she gave him there a little glass of water and a small piece of wheaten bread.--"Why, what is this for a hungry man like me?" thought he.
Who acts: lady, we, naught, oats · What happens: draw out, strew, say, fasten up, think, have · To what, where: one, handful, horse, naught, us, guest chamber · Speech: someone speaks here
