There is a lake down there below us, and anyone who bathes in it, though he were at death’s door, becomes sound and well on the spot, and those who wash their eyes with the dew on this hill become as sharp-sighted as the eagle, even if they have been blind from their youth.’

Who acts: lake, Ferko, anyone, those, eyes · What happens: be, bathe, become, wash, sight · To what, where: door, sound, eyes, hill, youth
