The Arabian Nights Entertainments, Opening, part 14, sentence 51

So I begged the one who owned the nest to which I had been carried to take as much as he would of my treasure, but he contented himself with one stone, and that by no means the largest, assuring me that with such a gem his fortune was made, and he need toil no more.

Who acts: I, one, way, that, my · What happens: beg, own, carry, take, content, mean · To what, where: one, nest, I, much, way, largest
