Indian Fairy Tales, XXV. the Demon With the Matted Hair., sentence 38

I venture to predict that the Tar Baby story will be found in Madagascar in a form nearer the Indian than Uncle Remus, and I will go further, and say that it will _not_ be found in the grand Helsingfors collection of folk-tales, though this includes 12,000, of which 1000 are beast-tales.

Who acts: I, form, this · What happens: venture, predict, find, go, say, _ · To what, where: Baby story, Madagascar, Helsingfors collection, 12,000, 1000 beast tales · Speech: someone speaks here
