SINBAD THE SAILOR

L

This is the story of Sinbad the Sailor. He is
very brave and he is never afraid. He sails his
ship all around the world. His friend Bernadin
always goes with him.
Now Sinbad is sailing in the sea. But he is lost.
Suddenly, a sailor shouts, ‘Be careful!
A big rock!’

B u t... it isn’t a big rock. It’s a very big finger!
Then there are more fingers! It’s a giant’s
hand! The giant stands up. He is very angry.

1 want to sleep!’ he shouts, and he lifts the
ship up in his big hand. The sailors fall into
the sea.

Sinbad says, ‘Let’s fight, Giant!’

The giant laughs. He lifts Sinbad and Bernadin
up and puts them on an island.

Til come back when I’m hungry,’ he says.

Sinbad and Bernadin can see a lot of bones.

‘Help!' says Bernadin, ‘The giant eats sailors for
dinner! He will eat us next!’
i
LV\le must leave the island,’ says Sinbad, l e t ’s
make a boat.’

I■

They work quickly. They are afraid the giant will
come back,

f-

Finally the boat is ready and they leave the island.

They sail all night. Sinbad is looking for
another island. But now it’s morning and
Bernadin is hungry.

‘I want something to eat,’ he says, ‘Let’s catch
a bird!’

Suddenly, it is dark and Bernadin is afraid.

‘What is it?’ asks Bernadin. ‘Oh, help!’

There is a big bird over them. Its wings are
red and blue. It’s got big claws.



‘I can see sailors’ says the bird, ‘I can play
with them.’

It lifts the sailors up. They are in its big
claws. It flies higher and higher into the sky.

‘Help! Sinbad! I’m afraid,’ says Bernadin.

‘It’s OK. Don’t be afraid! Do this!’
says Sinbad.

Sinbad tickles the bird’s claw. Bernadin
tickles the bird’s claw too.

Suddenly, the bird opens its claws and
Sinbad and Bernadin fall into the sea. They
swim quickly. They are afraid the bird will
come back.

‘Look! An island!’ says Bernadin.

I

They are very tired but they mustn’t stop.
They swim to the island.

‘What are those?’ asks Sinbad.

There are big diamonds everywhere! They are
in the trees and on the beach.

I



‘Where are we?’ asks Bernadin.
‘I can tell you where you are!’ says a loud
voice. ‘You are on my island. These are
my diamonds!’
Sinbad and Bernadin look behind them.
They see a very big dragon and it’s got
two heads! The dragon is angry.
‘Look, Bernadin! There’s a cave,’ says
Sinbad. ‘Run!’

Я

The dragon tries to catch them. They run into
the cave. The dragon can’t catch them now. It
throws a big rock in front of the cave. Sinbad
and Bernadin can’t go back.

‘Look over there!’ says Bernadin.

‘Light!’ says Sinbad. ‘We can get out there!
Let’s go!’

Now they are out of the cave and they can
see diamonds everywhere.

‘I’m hungry,’ says Bernadin.

Bernadin can't believe his eyes. A lot of
meat is failing from the sky! It falls onto the
diamonds. The diamonds stick to the meat.
Some big black birds come to eat the meat.
They are strong. They lift the meat up. They
take it to their nests.
l e t ’s hold onto the meat.’ says Sinbad.
So Sinbad and Bernadin hold onto the meat
and the birds take them to their nests.

Sinbad and Bernadin look around them. They
see some ladders. The ladders go down to the
beach. In the sea, there is a pirate ship.

‘Look!’ says Sinbad. ‘The pirates are coming.
They want the diamonds.’

‘But how do they get them?’ asks Bernadin.

‘They go up the ladders and they take the
diamonds from the nests. They don’t go near
the dragon.’

'What will we do?’ asks Bernadin.

l e t ’s take lots of diamonds,’ says Sinbad.
Then w e ll go down to the beach and wait.
But be careful! The pirates mustn’t see us.’

They go down to the beach and wait in a cave.
When the pirates go up the ladder to get the
diamonds, Sinbad and Bernadin quickly get
into the small boat. They sail away with the
diamonds and there is some food in the boat!
Bernadin is very happy. He eats all the food.

/

bWe must go home,’ says Sinbad.

They travel for ten days. But they haven’t got
any food now. They are very hungry and
very thirsty.

Suddenly, Sinbad sees land!

‘Wake up, Bernadin!’ shouts Sinbad.
‘We’re home!’





Now Sinbad and Bernadin are home again.
They sell the diamonds. They are very rich
and very happy.

B u t... Sinbad wants to sail again. He wants
to see new islands. So, Sinbad buys a new
ship. He sails into the sea again. But that is
another story.
