Cossack Fairy Tales and Folk Tales, Nobles and Princes], sentence 4
So they went and rested, and the old woman came out of the hut to them.--"Hast thou a daughter, little mother?" said they.--"Yes, that I have," said she.--"One or two?" they asked.--"Well, there is another," said she, "but she is not my daughter, she is a mere kitchen slut, the very look of her is nasty."--"Very well," said they, "we will measure them with the golden slippers."--"Good!" cried the old woman.
Who acts: they, old woman, daughter, woman, another, we · What happens: go, rest, come out, have, say, ask · To what, where: One, hut, thou, daughter, mere kitchen slut · Speech: someone speaks here
