The Arabian Nights Entertainments, Opening, part 33, sentence 96

However, far from refusing it, the dervish at once held it out, saying gracefully, "Take it, my friend, and if there is anything else I can do to make you happy you must let me know."

Who acts: anything, I, you, me · What happens: refuse, hold out, say, take, be, do · To what, where: possession, you, me · Speech: someone speaks here
