The Arabian Nights Entertainments, Opening, part 13, sentence 54

He took me to a cave where his companions were assembled, and when I had eaten of the food they set before me, they bade me think myself fortunate to have come upon them when I did, since they were going back to their master on the morrow, and without their aid I could certainly never have found my way to the inhabited part of the island.

Who acts: man, I, companions · What happens: take, assemble, eat, set, bade, think · To what, where: me, cave, companions, myself, morrow, way
