The Blue Fairy Book, The Story of Prince Ahmed and the Fairy Paribanou, part 1, sentence 20

The multitude of shops, stocked with all sorts of merchandise, as the finest linens from several parts of India, some painted in the most lively colors, and representing beasts, trees, and flowers; silks and brocades from Persia, China, and other places, porcelain both from Japan and China, and tapestries, surprised him so much that he knew not how to believe his own eyes; but when he came to the goldsmiths and jewelers he was in a kind of ecstacy to behold such prodigious quantities of wrought gold and silver, and was dazzled by the lustre of the pearls, diamonds, rubies, emeralds, and other jewels exposed to sale.

Who acts: some, silks, China, kind, lustre · What happens: stock, paint, represent, surprise, not know, believe · To what, where: multitude, representing beasts, lively colors, China, own eyes, kind · Speech: someone speaks here
