Oriental tales, for the entertainment of youth, Ingratitude Punished., sentence 14

At length, after much pains and inquietude, he was fortunate enough to find a narrow passage which led him out of this obscure cave; though it was not till he had followed it a considerable way, that he perceived a small opening covered with briars and thorns, through which he returned to the light of the sun. He looked on all sides, to see if he could perceive the Dervise, but in vain; he designed to deliver him the iron candlestick he so much wished for, and formed a design of quitting him, being rich enough with what he had taken out of the cavern, to live in affluence without his assistance.

Who acts: Abdallah, narrow passage, design · What happens: be, find, lead, not follow, perceive, cover · To what, where: length, narrow passage, Abdallah, obscure cave, vault, small opening
