The Arabian Nights Entertainments, Opening, part 7, sentence 22

But they made up their minds to die bravely, all except the porter, who loudly inquired of Zobeida why he was to suffer for other people's faults, and declared that these misfortunes would never have happened if it had not been for the Calenders, who always brought ill-luck.

Who acts: culprits, porter, man, misfortunes, Calenders, other people · What happens: make up, die, inquire, be, declare, not happen · To what, where: minds, ill luck · Speech: someone speaks here
