Sindbad could not stay home for long. Not long after he got back, he boards a ship again. He cannot fully explain to the porter why.
The ship went well for many days. Then the wind turned and the water rose. It was pushed off its course and came ashore in a country he did not know.
The people there did not drive the stranger out. The king sent for him, heard him, and let him stay in the city. Sindbad starts trading again there.
