Oriental tales, for the entertainment of youth, Ingratitude Punished., sentence 64

His first care was to place the loads of his camels, and the candlestick, in the most private part of the house; and, in his impatience to feed his eyes, with his great opulence, he placed lights immediately in the candlestick: the twelve Dervises appearing, he gave each of them a blow with a cane with all his strength, lest he should be failing in the laws of the talisman: but he had not remarked, that Abounadar, when he struck them, had the cane in his left hand.

Who acts: first care, Abounadar, twelve Dervises · What happens: be, feed, place, appear, give, fail · To what, where: place, eyes, lights, candlestick, blow, laws
