Oriental tales, for the entertainment of youth, The Story of Bozaldab., sentence 1

Bozaldab, Calif of Egypt, had dwelt securely for many years in the silken pavilions of pleasure, and had every morning anointed his head with the oil of gladness, when his only son Aboram, for whom he had crowded his treasuries with gold, extended his dominions with conquests, and secured them with impregnable fortresses, was suddenly wounded, as he was hunting, with an arrow from an unknown hand, and expired in the field.

Who acts: morning, son, only son · What happens: dwell, have, anoint, crowd, extend, secure · To what, where: Bozaldab, head, treasuries, dominions, field
