The Arabian Nights Entertainments, Opening, part 19, sentence 6

When the ships at last arrived my master himself chose the one in which I was to sail, and put on board for me a great store of choice provisions, also ivory in abundance, and all the costliest curiosities of the country, for which I could not thank him enough, and so we parted.

Who acts: ships, monsoon, I, costliest curiosities · What happens: arrive, choose, be, put, not thank, part · To what, where: master, one, great store, board, monsoon
