Cossack Fairy Tales and Folk Tales, The Tsar and the Angel, sentence 184

Go back to this nobleman and say to him that the reason why the sun turns so red as he sets is this: Just as the sun is going down into the sea, three fair ladies rise out of it, and it is the sight of them which makes him turn so red all over!"

Who acts: you, sun, reason, three fair ladies, sight · What happens: go back, say, turn, set, go down, be · To what, where: overseer, sea, reason, sight, SUN · Speech: someone speaks here
