The Arabian Nights Entertainments, Opening, part 21, sentence 106

Then he said to my brother, "Why don't you wash your hands too?" and Schacabac, supposing that it was a joke on the part of the Barmecide (though he could see none himself), drew near, and imitated his motion.

Who acts: water, brother, you, hand · What happens: say, not wash, suppose, be, see, draw · To what, where: brother, hands, joke, part, none, motion · Speech: someone speaks here
