Oriental tales, for the entertainment of youth, Ingratitude Punished., sentence 10

Then the Dervise lighted a small fire, into which he cast a perfume; he read and prayed for some moments, after which the earth opened, and the Dervise said to him—“Thou mayest now enter, my dear Abdallah, remember that it is in thy power to do me a great service; and that this is, perhaps, the only opportunity thou canst ever have of testifying to me that thou art not ungrateful: Do not let thyself be dazzled by all the riches thou wilt find there; think only of seizing upon an iron candlestick with twelve branches, which thou wilt find close to a door; that is absolutely necessary to me; come up immediately, and bring it to me.”

Who acts: Dervise, earth, Thou, perfume, this, thyself · What happens: light, cast, read, pray, open, say · To what, where: small fire, perfume, Abdallah, dear Abdallah, power, great service · Speech: someone speaks here
