Oriental tales, for the entertainment of youth, Ingratitude Punished., sentence 13
He had, however, presence of mind enough to seize on the iron candlestick, which the Dervise had so strongly recommended to him; and though the situation he was in was very terrible, he did not abandon himself to despair; and thinking only in what manner he should get out of a place which might become his grave, he apprehended that the vault had closed only because he had not followed the order of the Dervise; he recalled to his memory the care and goodness he had loaded him with; reproached himself with his ingratitude, and finished his meditation by humbling himself before God.
Who acts: Abdallah, Dervise, iron candlestick, manner, place · What happens: have, seize, recommend, be, not abandon, despair · To what, where: presence, iron candlestick, Abdallah, place, grave, vault · Speech: someone speaks here
