The Arabian Nights Entertainments, Opening, part 33, sentence 45

But before I reveal to you the secret of the treasure, you must swear that, after we have loaded the camels with as much as they can carry, you will give half to me, and let us go our own ways.

Who acts: I, you, we, camels, us · What happens: reveal, swear, load, carry, give, let · To what, where: secret, you, that, camels, half, me
