Hail, little Tsar Novishny!" cried the humble-bee.--"Hail, little humble-bee!" said the little Tsar.--"Say, friends, are you here by your leave or against your leave?"--"Alas! little humble-bumble-bee, 'tis not with my leave I have been brought hither, but against my leave, as thou mayst see for thyself."--"Then sit on my back," said the bee, "and I'll carry you away."--"But, dear little humble-bumble-bee, if a horse couldn't save us, how will you?"--"I cannot tell till I try," said the humble-bee. "

Who acts: Hail, friends, thou, bee, I, horse · What happens: cry, say, be, bring, see, sit · To what, where: humble bee, I, back, you, us · Speech: someone speaks here
