Russian Folk-Tales, Opening, part 10, sentence 74

Tsar Výslav was very glad that his youngest son had succeeded, although he had only a single feather; and this feather was so marvellous and bright that you had only to take it into some dark attic and it shone as bright as the red sun. Tsar Výslav put the feather into his cabinet as an article which he must keep for ever; and from that time forward the Bird of Light never flew into the garden.

Who acts: Tsar, IVÁN, feather, you, BIRD, red sun. · What happens: be, succeed, have, take, shine, put · To what, where: youngest son, single feather, BIRD, dark attic, feather, cabinet
