Sindbad had spent everything his father left him. He gathered what remained, sold it, and boarded a ship among merchants. The ship went out from Basra.
Some days on, a patch of green ground came into sight. Trees were growing on it and grass covered it. They put in and went ashore.
Men who had not touched land in a while scattered over it. Some washed clothes, some lit fires and cooked. Sindbad was there among them.
