Cossack Fairy Tales and Folk Tales, The Magic Egg, sentence 122

So the dragon set off after them again, and they heard him coming from afar, for the earth trembled beneath him, so the damsel said to Ivan, "He's coming again, I hear him; now I'll change myself into a monastery, so old that it will be almost falling to pieces, and I'll change thee into an old black monk at the gate, and when he comes up and asks, 'Hast thou seen a lad and a lass pass this way?' say to him, 'Yes, they passed by this way when this monastery was being built.'"

Who acts: dragon, lad, man, earth, damsel, thou · What happens: set off, hear, come, tremble, say, change · To what, where: man, afar, Ivan, damsel, monastery, thee · Speech: someone speaks here
