Indian Fairy Tales, Demon With Matted Hair " 196, part 8, sentence 96

Stop for a while," said Gangazara, and after quenching his thirst by letting down his vessel for the fifth time, still fearing that some one might remain in the well and demand his assistance, he listened to the goldsmith, who began as follows: "My dear friend, my protector, what a deal of nonsense these brutes have been talking to you about me; I am glad you have not followed their advice.

Who acts: Gangazara, one, goldsmith, dear friend, brutes, I · What happens: stop, say, quench, let down, fear, remain · To what, where: thirst, vessel, well, assistance, deal, you · Speech: someone speaks here
