The Arabian Nights Entertainments, Opening, part 17, sentence 10

When I recovered my enemy was still in his place, though he had released his hold enough to allow me breathing space, and seeing me revive he prodded me adroitly first with one foot and then with the other, until I was forced to get up and stagger about with him under the trees while he gathered and ate the choicest fruits.

Who acts: I, enemy, seeing, man · What happens: recover, be, release, allow, breathe, see · To what, where: place, man, me, space, I, trees
