So Tremsin went out into the wide world and pastured his steed on the vast steppes, and his steed spoke to him and said, "When we have gone a little farther, thou wilt see before thee a plume of the Bird _Zhar_[12]; pick it not up, or sore trouble will be thine!"
Who acts: Tremsin, steed, we, thou · What happens: go out, pasture, speak, say, go, see · To what, where: wide world, steed, vast steppes, eagle, plume, thine · Speech: someone speaks here
