The Arabian Nights Entertainments, Opening, part 9, sentence 46

In a town of moderate size, two men lived in neighbouring houses; but they had not been there very long before one man took such a hatred of the other, and envied him so bitterly, that the poor man determined to find another home, hoping that when they no longer met every day his enemy would forget all about him.

Who acts: two men, houses, one man, poor man, enemy · What happens: live, neighbour, have, not be, take, envy · To what, where: town, hatred, man, home, day · Speech: someone speaks here
