Cossack Fairy Tales and Folk Tales, The Fox and the Cat, sentence 5

What brings you here?"--"Alas!" said Pussy, "my master loved me as long as I could bite, but now that I can bite no longer and have left off catching mice--and I used to catch them finely once--he doesn't like to kill me, but he has left me in the wood where I must perish miserably."--"No, dear Pussy!" said the fox; "you leave it to me, and I'll help you to get your daily bread."--"You are very good, dear little sister foxey!" said the cat, and the fox built him a little shed with a garden round it to walk about in.

Who acts: Alas, master, I, dear Pussy, you, dear sister foxey · What happens: bring, say, love, bite, leave off, catch · To what, where: you, me, mice, wood, fox, daily bread · Speech: someone speaks here
