Long ago in the city of Baghdad, Sinbad live with his father, A rich merchant. When The merchant died, HE left Sinbad his whole fortune. Sinbad was so rich he didn’t need to work instead he spent his money on fine clothes and wild parties. One day he was shocked to find his purse empty. I can’t believe I’ve spend my fortune he said to himself. He decided to follow in his father‘s footsteps and sell things for a living.First he sold his house then he bought some expensive silks and spices And went down to the port. A group of merchants were busy loading their ship they invited Sinbad to join them and he jumped on board. After a week at the sea they drop anchor by a sandy Island they were cooking supper over fire when the ground began to tremble. The island is moving A sailor cried it’s not an island yelled another we’re all the whale cried the captain and swam to the ship. The others were flung into the sea as the whale flipped its tail and dived underwater. Many men drowned but Sinbad was lucky he Clung onto a wooden chest and floated through the night. At dawn he landed on the shore of a distant island. A man on horseback spotted Sinbad and took him to see this ruler King Mahrajan. Sinbad told the king of the whale. Now I’m stranded far from home he signed work for me and I’ll look after you said the King. One day Sinbad was on a duty at the port when the captain came up to him. Sir where can I sell this silks and spices he asked Sinbad was amazed I have some silk like that he said well these silks belonged to a merchant called Sinbad said The Capitan I am Sinbad cried Sinbad but I thought you’d drowned The captain was amazed but he gave him back his silks and spices after selling them at an excellent price Sinbad joined the captain’s ship and set sail for Baghdad at first Sinbad was delighted to be home but soon he had itchy feet he wanted to visit new places so he bought some silks and spices to trade A friend of Captain welcomed him on board his ship and they headed for the high Seas one day they stopped at a deserted island to collect fresh water Sinbad sat down in a shady spot and fell asleep an hour later he woke in a panic The ship had set sail without him he was stranded Sinbad climbed a tree and looked over the island all he could see was One huge white egg as Sinbad watched A gigantic roc bird flew onto the egg and settled down to sleep Sinbad knew the roc bird was very strong maybe it could rescue him he Unwound his turban crept up to the bird and tie himself to its leg When the roc woke up it stretched its giant wings and soared into the sky Sinbad found himself dangling high above the clouds before long the roc dived down into a deep valley Sinbad felt hard ground beneath his feet and quickly untied himself. The roc Caught a sheep in its claws and flew away Sinbad stared in Fear at the steep-sided valley it was squirming with snakes which slithered over dead sheep. Then Sinbad noticed the ground was studded with jewels. He was stuffing some in his pockets when he saw a vicious snake eyeing him hungrily. Sinbad ducked down how could he Escape seeing the Roc circling overhead gave him an idea quickly he tied himself to a sheep and waited in no time a roc swooped down and grabbed the sheep in its claws it flew out of the valley with Sinbad trailing belowThe roc landed on the Cliff it was about to eat the sheep when a group of men charged at the bird scaring it away bother said one no jewels in this sheep’s wool then they spotted Sinbad his Escape from snake Valley amazed them in return for some jewels they put him on the ship bound for Baghdad once more Sinbad was delighted to be home but the feeling didn’t last long this time he traded a bag of jewels for silks and spices to sell his third Journey went well and land was in sight when a bunch of short ugly and very hairy men ambushed the ship One by one The Hairy men threw the merchants overboard then Sail away The miserable merchants were washed onto a beach
