Oriental tales, for the entertainment of youth, Ingratitude Punished., sentence 65

Abdallah, by a natural motion, made use of his right; and the Dervises, instead of becoming heaps of riches, immediately drew from beneath their robes each a formidable club, with which they struck him almost dead, and disappeared, carrying with them all his treasures, the camels, the horse, the slave, and the candlestick.

Who acts: natural motion, Dervises, Abounadar · What happens: make, become, draw, strike, disappear, carry · To what, where: use, heaps, Abounadar, treasures, right
