Cossack Fairy Tales and Folk Tales, The Voices At the Window, part 2, sentence 46

How shall we slay thee!" they cried; "thou art our own little dad, and hast saved us from death!"--"Nay!" said the bullock; "but you must slay me, and one quarter of me you must hang up on the stove, and the second quarter you must place on the ground in a corner, and the third quarter you must put in the corner at the entrance of the hut, and the fourth quarter you must put round the threshold, so that there will be a quarter in all four corners."

Who acts: we, woods, you, one quarter, second quarter, third quarter · What happens: slay, cry, save, say, hang up, place · To what, where: thee, us, death, bullock, me, stove · Speech: someone speaks here
