Cossack Fairy Tales and Folk Tales, The Vampire and St Michael, sentence 215
When all was ready the thrice-lovely Nastasia said to Tremsin, "Now, leap first of all into the cold vat, and then into the warm vat, and then into the boiling hot vat!"--Tremsin leaped into the first vat, and leaped out again an old man; he leaped into the second vat, and leaped out again a youth; he leaped into the third vat, but when he leaped out again, he was so young and handsome that no pen can describe it, and no tale can tell of it.
Who acts: all, lovely Nastasia, Tremsin, man, pen, tale · What happens: be, say, leap, leap out, describe, tell · To what, where: Tremsin, cold vat, first vat, old man, second vat, youth · Speech: someone speaks here
