Cossack Fairy Tales and Folk Tales, Nobles and Princes], sentence 7
Then they said, "Tell us, little mother, where is thy other daughter?"--"Oh, as for her, she is a mere slut, and besides she isn't dressed."--"No matter," said they; "where is she?"--Then she came out from behind the stove, and her stepmother hustled her and said, "Get along, thou sluttish hussy!"--Then they measured her with the slippers, and they fitted like gloves, whereupon the courtiers rejoiced exceedingly and praised the Lord.
Who acts: daughter, woman, stepmother, thou, courtiers · What happens: say, tell, be, not dress, come out, hustle · To what, where: little mother, woman, other daughter, mere slut, stove, Lord · Speech: someone speaks here
