Cossack Fairy Tales and Folk Tales, The Two Princes, part 1, sentence 12

So he went up the high mountain till he came to two other mountains that were opposite each other, and there he saw two old men sitting, and they asked him straightway, "Little Prince! little Prince! whither dost thou go, and what dost thou seek?"--"I am going in search of my brother," said he, "my dear elder brother who is perishing, and I can find him nowhere."--Then one of the old men said to him, "If thou canst scale those two mountains yonder without falling, I'll give thee all that thou dost want."

Who acts: man, that, two old men, cross-roads, thou, dear elder brother · What happens: go up, come, be, see, sit, ask · To what, where: high mountain, two other mountains, two old men, straightway, man, thou · Speech: someone speaks here
