Traditional story Sinbad the sailor

Many years ago, in Baghdad, lived a very poor young man named Sinbad who, in order to survive, moved heavy bales for what he was called 'the shipper'. His complaints were heard by a millionaire, who invited him to share a dinner. There was an old man, who said the following:

- 'I am

Sinbad' the sailor ' . My father bequeathed me a fortune, but I wasted it on being miserable. I sold my junk and sailed with some merchants. We arrived at an island leaving expelled by the airs, because in fact it was a whale. I was shipwrecked on a board to the coast, taking a ship to return to Baghdad. 'And Sinbad 'the sailor', fell silent. He gave the young man

100 coins begging him to come back the next day. He did so and continued his story: - 'I sailed again. When I arrived on another island, I fell asleep and, on waking, the ship had left. I came to a deep valley strewn with diamonds and giant snakes. I filled a bag with all the jewels I could, I tied a piece of meat to my back and waited for an eagle to take me to its nest

taking me out of this horrendous place '.At the end of the story, Sinbad 'the sailor' returned to the young man 100 coins, begging him to return the next day.

- 'With my fortune I could stay here,' said Sinbad, but I went back to sailing. We landed on an island of pygmies; who gave us the giant with only one eye who ate human flesh. Later, taking advantage of the night,

we stuck a stake in his one eye and fled the island back to Baghdad '. Sinbad gave the young man new coins, and the next day he evoked: - 'This time, we were shipwrecked on an island of cannibals.

I captured the king's daughter by marrying her ; but soon after he died, the king ordered me to be buried with my wife. Luckily, I was able to flee and I returned to Baghdad full of jewels. ' Sinbad 'the sailor' continued narrating and the young man listening to him:- 'Finally they sold me as a slave to an ivory trader. I hunted elephants and one day, fleeing from one, I climbed a tree but the animal shook him so much that I fell on his back, taking me to his cemetery. It was an ivory mine! I went to my master and told him everything.

In gratitude he left me free , giving me valuable treasures. I went back and stopped traveling. Do you see? I suffered a lot, but now I enjoy all pleasures. 'At the end, the old man asked the young man to live with him, accepting enchanted and being very happy thereafter.
