The Arabian Nights Entertainments, Opening, part 11, sentence 22

This mountain is composed of adamant, which attracts to itself all the iron and nails in your ship; and as we are helplessly drawn nearer, the force of attraction will become so great that the iron and nails will fall out of the ships and cling to the mountain, and the ships will sink to the bottom with all that are in them.

Who acts: adamant, force, iron, ships, that · What happens: compose, attract, draw, become, fall, sink · To what, where: mountain, iron, we, ships
