Cossack Fairy Tales and Folk Tales, Nobles and Princes], sentence 10
How can such a slut become the consort of the Tsar's son?" screeched she.--"Nay, but she must come!" said they; "go, dress thyself, maiden!"--"Wait but a moment," said she, "and I'll tire myself as is meet!"--Then she went to the spring beneath the willow-tree, and washed and dressed herself, and she came back so lovely and splendid that the like of it can neither be thought of nor guessed at, but only told of in tales.
Who acts: slut, people, moment, I · What happens: become, screech, come, say, go, dress · To what, where: consort, slut, thyself, myself, tire meet, willow tree · Speech: someone speaks here
