The Arabian Nights Entertainments, Opening, part 27, sentence 97

Saouy, who had been of the opposite side, and was jealous of the honour done to Khacan, said, "Sire, it will be very difficult to find a slave as accomplished as your Majesty desires, and, if she is to be found, she will be cheap if she cost less than 10,000 gold pieces."

Who acts: Saouy, Majesty · What happens: be, do, say, find, accomplish, desire · To what, where: honour, Khacan, slave, Majesty, 10,000 gold pieces · Speech: someone speaks here
