Hail to thee, O man!" said he.--"Hail to thee also, my father!"--"Whither doth God lead thee?"--"I am going to free my son from Oh."--"How so?"--Then the man told the old white father how he had hired out his son to Oh and under what conditions.--"Aye, aye!" said the old white father, "'tis a vile pagan thou hast to deal with; he will lead thee about by the nose for a long time."--"Yes," said the man, "I perceive that he is a vile pagan; but I know not what in the world to do with him.
Who acts: Hail, I, man, son, old white father, thou · What happens: say, do, lead, go, tell, hire out · To what, where: God, thee, son, old white father, vile pagan, man · Speech: someone speaks here
