The Arabian Nights Entertainments, Opening, part 35, sentence 100

I do not order you to insist upon the young magician finding the means to restore your wife to her human shape, because I know that when once women such as she begin to work evil they never leave off, and I should only bring down on your head a vengeance far worse than the one you have undergone already."

Who acts: I, young magician, the, women, animals, you · What happens: not order, insist, find, mean, restore, know · To what, where: you, wife, human shape, evil, vengeance, head · Speech: someone speaks here
