Cossack Fairy Tales and Folk Tales, The Fox and the Cat, sentence 14
He came beneath the window and said, "We invite your little ladyship Foxey-Woxey, together with Mr Shaggy Matthew, to dinner"--and back he ran again.--"But you should have told them to bring their spoons with them," said the bear.--"Oh, what a head I've got! if I didn't quite forget!" cried the hare, and back he went again, ran beneath the window and cried, "Mind you bring your spoons!"--"Very well," said the fox.
Who acts: cat, We, you, bear, head, hare · What happens: come, say, invite, run, tell, bring · To what, where: window, little ladyship, you, trees, spoons · Speech: someone speaks here
