First Iván Tsarévich sat down on it, then the witch on the other side; but as soon as ever she had put her foot into it the Tsarévich was hurled with such force into the house, that he flew right into the very bosom of the sky, into the chambers of the Sun, whilst the witch remained on the earth.

Who acts: Iván, witch · What happens: sit down, put, hurl, fly, remain, bosom · To what, where: witch, other, foot, Tsarévich, house, bosom
