The Arabian Nights Entertainments, Opening, part 15, sentence 42

All day long I toiled with frantic haste and collected quantities of dry brushwood, reeds and thorns, which I bound with faggots, and making a circle of them under my tree I piled them firmly one upon another until I had a kind of tent in which I crouched like a mouse in a hole when she sees the cat coming.

Who acts: I, mouse, cat · What happens: toil, collect, bound, make, pile, have · To what, where: quantities, reeds, circle, tree, kind, tent
