The Arabian Nights Entertainments, Opening, part 15, sentence 83

I, with a few others, had the good fortune to be washed ashore clinging to pieces of the wreck, for the storm had driven us near an island, and scrambling up beyond the reach of the waves we threw ourselves down quite exhausted, to wait for morning.

Who acts: I, we, scrambling · What happens: have, wash, cling, drive, scramble up, throw down · To what, where: good fortune, us, island, reach, ourselves
