Cossack Fairy Tales and Folk Tales, The Voices At the Window, part 3, sentence 57

So the little Tsar came to that town and put up at the stranger's inn, and he asked his host, "What is the meaning of all this running and crying of the people in the streets?"--"Why, dost thou not know?" said he; "it is the turn of the Tsar to send his daughter to the dragon!"--Then he went out and listened, and heard the people say, "The Tsar proclaims that whoever is able to slay the dragon, to him will he give his daughter and one-half of his tsardom!"

Who acts: little Tsar, Tsar, thou, host, people, whoever · What happens: come, put up, ask, be, cry, do · To what, where: inn, host, meaning, turn, daughter, dragon · Speech: someone speaks here
