Cossack Fairy Tales and Folk Tales, The Two Princes, part 2, sentence 66

Suddenly St Peter appeared to him and said, "What art thou doing, good man?"--"I am pounding up this incense to make bread of it."--"Nay, good man, I will advise thee better: give me the incense and take from me whatever thou wilt."--"Very well, St Peter," said the fool; "thou must give me a little fife, but a fife of such a sort that whenever I play upon it, every one will be obliged to dance."--"But dost thou know how to play upon a fife?"--"No, but I can soon learn."

Who acts: St, Ivan, good man, St Peter, thou · What happens: appear, say, do, pound up, make, advise · To what, where: fife, Ivan, good man, incense, bread, thee · Speech: someone speaks here
