Cossack Fairy Tales and Folk Tales, The Origin of the Mole, sentence 6

But the rich man dug a deep trench in the poor man's part of the field and placed his son in it, and said to him, "Look now, my son; when I come hither to-morrow morning and ask whose field this is, say that it is not the poor man's, but the rich man's."

Who acts: rich man, this, field · What happens: dig, place, say, look, come, ask · To what, where: deep trench, part, son, field, God · Speech: someone speaks here
