'More jewels!'saysSinbad,
and
he puts some of the beautiful
stonesin his bag.
Soon he begins to feel hungry.
'There are lots of jewels here,'
he thinks. 'But there's nothing
to eat. I must look for
something. But where?,

Sinbad takes wood from the

wrecks and makes a boat from
it. He puts the boat on the river
in the caveand gets on it.
He rows for days through the
dark cave.He feelsmore and
more hungry every day.

Sinbad givessomeof the jewels to the

kirrg. He also tells him about the most
irnportant man in Baghdad, the Caliph.
'Your Caliph is a very good and wise
rnrn,'saysthe king. 'Here are some
presents for him.'

The king finds rbig shirlitr

Sinbadand he givcshim lots
of presents,too. Sinbaclslils
back to Baghdad.

On the ship, he thinks about

his adventure in the cave,
'This time I want to stay at
home in Baghdad,'he thinks.
After six days,he's very ill and tired.
But then he seessome blue sky.He
can also seetwo strangemen.
'Welcometo the country
of Serendib!,
they say.
'Pleasegive me something
to eat!'criesSinbad.The
men give Sinbad lots of
different things, and he
eatsfor hours.
'You'rea lucky man,'say
the men. 'Comewith us to
seeour king.'

When Sinbaclgivcst,hcpresentsto the

Caliphof' l aghdacl,the Caliph says:'I have
somcbeautilul carpetsfor this wise King of
Serendib.l'lease take them to him.'
'Oh, no!' thinks Sinbad.'Back to seaagain!'
