Thou wilt perish, and we shall perish also!"--Then said the bullock, "Look into my right ear, and pull out the brush thou dost find there, and fling it behind thee!"--So he threw it behind him, and it became a forest as thick as a brush.

Who acts: Thou, we, Tsar, brush · What happens: perish, say, look, pull out, do, find · To what, where: bullock, brush, thee, forest · Speech: someone speaks here
