The Arabian Nights Entertainments, Opening, part 9, sentence 5

I could hear the shrieks and groans of the princess, and having by this time taken off my rich garments and put on those in which I had arrived the previous day, I lifted the trap, found myself once more in the forest, and returned to my friend the tailor, with a light load of wood and a heart full of shame and sorrow.

Who acts: I, princess · What happens: hear, take off, put, arrive, lift, find · To what, where: shrieks, rich garments, those, trap, myself, forest
