Cossack Fairy Tales and Folk Tales, The Voices At the Window, part 2, sentence 18

Again he sat down to rest and fell asleep, and again the Tsarivna sat upon his head and the Tsarevko sat down by her side, till a bullock came up, full tilt, and said to them, "Hail, little Tsar Novishny! art thou here with thy leave or art thou here against thy leave?"--"Alas! dear little bullock, I came not hither by my leave; but maybe I was brought here against my leave!"--"Sit on my back, then," said the bullock, "and I'll carry you away."--But they said, "Nay, if a horse and a bee could not manage it, how wilt thou?"--"Nonsense!" said the bullock. "

Who acts: serpent, Tsarivna, Tsarevko, bullock, friends, horse · What happens: sit down, rest, fall, sit, come up, say · To what, where: head, full tilt, friends, bullock, leave, back · Speech: someone speaks here
