Ans:

The hermit is the speaker.

A bearded man who had a large wound in his stomach was coming.

He came running out of the forest because he somehow escaped from the shackles of the Tsar’s bodyguard, who otherwise would have killed him.

The bearded man was the Tsar’s enemy, who swore to take revenge on the Tsar because the Tsar executed his brother and seized his property. In an attempt to kill the Tsar, he came out from his ambush. Instead of finding the Tsar, he came upon the Tsar’s bodyguard who recognised him and wounded him.

The man was badly wounded. He held his hands pressed against his stomach and blood was flowing from under them. As soon as he reached the Tsar, he fell fainting on the ground moaning feebly.

The wounded man was received with sympathy at the hermit’s cottage. He was nursed with great care by the Tsar who was assisted by the hermit. The Tsar did his best to stop the blood flow by washing and bandaging the wound again and again. Finally blood ceased flowing and the man’s life was saved.
