Cossack Fairy Tales and Folk Tales, The Magic Egg, sentence 151

Now when this old man was at the point of death, he divided all he had among his sons, and gave to each of the forty a horse; but when he came to the forty-first he found he had no more horses left, so the forty-first brother had to be content with a foal.

Who acts: old man, man, first brother · What happens: be, divide, have, give, come, find · To what, where: point, all, each, forty, more horses · Speech: someone speaks here
