The Arabian Nights Entertainments, Opening, part 36, sentence 20

But when he reached Mossoul, Ali had made such friends with some Persian merchants, that they persuaded him to accompany them to their native land, and even as far as India, and so it came to pass that seven years had slipped by since he had left Bagdad, and during all that time the friend with whom he had left the vase of olives had never once thought of him or of it.

Who acts: Ali, friends, land, seven years · What happens: reach, make, persuade, accompany, come, pass · To what, where: Mossoul, Ali, friends, native land, that, Bagdad
