The Arabian Nights Entertainments, Opening, part 16, sentence 11

One thing I remarked which I thought very strange; this was that, from the greatest to the least, all men rode their horses without bridle or stirrups.

Who acts: One thing, this, men · What happens: remark, think, be, ride · To what, where: horses · Speech: someone speaks here
