The Arabian Nights Entertainments, Opening, part 14, sentence 33

I was thankful when the morning light appeared, and when I judged by the silence that the serpents had retreated to their dens I came tremblingly out of my cave and wandered up and down the valley once more, kicking the diamonds contemptuously out of my path, for I felt that they were indeed vain things to a man in my situation.

Who acts: I, morning light, serpents · What happens: be, appear, judge, retreat, come, wander up · To what, where: serpents, cave, diamonds, path, vain things
