Cossack Fairy Tales and Folk Tales, The Voices At the Window, part 1, sentence 86
Give me,' said he, 'what thou hast at home, or I'll never let thee go!'--And I said to him, 'Lo! now, I have horses.'--'I don't want thy horses!' said he.--'I have oxen,' I said.--'I don't want thine oxen!' said he.--'I have,' said I, 'a wife so fair that the like of her is not to be found in God's fair world; take her, but let me go.'--'I don't want thy fair wife!' said he.--Then I promised him what I should find at home when I got there, for I never thought that God had blessed me so.
Who acts: you, wanton, thou, I, thee, me · What happens: give, say, have, not let, go, not want · To what, where: me, home, thee, wanton, horses, oxen · Speech: someone speaks here
