The Arabian Nights Entertainments, Opening, part 15, sentence 92

However, as I was so far from being a tempting morsel, I was allowed to wander about freely, and one day, when all the blacks had gone off upon some expedition leaving only an old man to guard me, I managed to escape from him and plunged into the forest, running faster the more he cried to me to come back, until I had completely distanced him.

Who acts: I, blacks, expedition, end · What happens: be, allow, wander, go off, leave, guard · To what, where: tempting morsel, I, expedition, old man, me, forest
