Cossack Fairy Tales and Folk Tales, The Magic Egg, sentence 40
Down plumped the man; but the eagle did not let him fall to the earth, but swiftly flew beneath him and upheld him, and said to him, "How dost thou feel now?"--"I feel," said the man, "as if I had no life in me."--Then the eagle replied, "That was just how I felt when thou didst aim at me the first time."
Who acts: Down, eagle, man, That, thou · What happens: plump, not let, fall, fly, uphold, say · To what, where: man, eagle, thou, life, aim · Speech: someone speaks here
