Cossack Fairy Tales and Folk Tales, Oh: the Tsar of the Forest, sentence 33

He had no sooner said these words than out of the tree-stump, nobody could say how, sprang such a little, little old man, all so wrinkled and puckered, and his beard was quite green and reached right down to his knee.--"What dost thou want of me, O man?" he asked.--The man was amazed at the strangeness of his coming to light, and said to him, "I did not call thee; begone!"--"How canst thou say that when thou didst call me?" asked the little old man.--"Who art thou, then?" asked the father.--"I am Oh, the Tsar of the Woods," replied the old man; "why didst thou call me, I say?"--"Away with thee, I did not call thee," said the man.--"What! thou didst not call me when thou saidst 'Oh'?"--"I was tired, and therefore I said 'Oh'!" replied the man.--"Whither art thou going?" asked Oh.--"The wide world lies before me," sighed the man. "

Who acts: last, nobody, little little old man, beard, man, thou · What happens: have, say, spring, wrinkle, pucker, be · To what, where: words, little little old man, all, thou, strangeness, last · Speech: someone speaks here
