Cossack Fairy Tales and Folk Tales, The Vampire and St Michael, sentence 35

One day, when his uncles were again making ready to depart into foreign lands, he said to them, "Take me with you!"--"Why shouldst thou go?" said they; "we have wares to sell, but what hast thou?"--"Yet take me," said he.--"But thou hast nothing."--"I will make me laths and boards and take them with me," said he.--His uncles laughed at him for imagining such wares as these, but he begged and prayed them till they were wearied. "

Who acts: uncles, youth, thou, we · What happens: make, depart, say, take, go, have · To what, where: foreign lands, uncles, youth, wares, thou, nothing · Speech: someone speaks here
