The Arabian Nights Entertainments, Opening, part 6, sentence 77

Then Zobeida, as the mistress, came forward and said gravely, "You are welcome here, but I hope you will allow me to beg one thing of you--have as many eyes as you like, but no tongues; and ask no questions about anything you see, however strange it may appear to you."

Who acts: Zobeida, You, it · What happens: come forward, say, be, hope, allow, beg · To what, where: tongues, Zobeida, one thing, many eyes, questions, you · Speech: someone speaks here
