Cossack Fairy Tales and Folk Tales, The Story of the Wind, sentence 127

The man could not stand this, so he cried, "Out of the drum, my henchmen! and give the accursed Jews a sound drubbing, that they may know better than to take in honest folk!" and immediately the twelve henchmen leaped out of the drum and began thwacking the Jews finely.--"Oh, oh!" roared the Jews; "oh, dear, darling, good man, we'll give thee whatever thou dost want, only leave off beating us!

Who acts: man, henchmen, twelve henchmen, we, thou · What happens: not stand, cry, give, accurs, know, take in · To what, where: this, drum, sound drubbing, accursed Jews, honest folk, Jews · Speech: someone speaks here
