Cossack Fairy Tales and Folk Tales, The Magic Egg, sentence 68
Then the poor fellow cried, "I shall do nothing with it myself, I see."--At that moment an old she-dragon came up to him and said, "What wilt thou give me, O man, if I chase this ox back again into the egg for thee?"--And the archer replied, "What _can_ I give?"--The dragon said to him, "Give me what thou hast at home without thy will and wit!"--"Done!" said the archer.
Who acts: poor fellow, thou, I, archer, dragon · What happens: cry, do, see, come up, say, give · To what, where: nothing, eagle, me, ox, egg, dragon · Speech: someone speaks here
