The Arabian Nights Entertainments, Opening, part 22, sentence 28

It was at this time that I rendered to the young cripple the important service of which you have heard, and for which, as you know, he showed such profound ingratitude, that he preferred rather to leave Bagdad than to run the risk of seeing me.

Who acts: choice, I, you, brother, risk · What happens: be, render, hear, know, show, prefer · To what, where: time, such profound ingratitude, Bagdad, risk, me
