Sinbad the Sailor

Sinbad, spelled Hindbad in some versions, is a poor porter from Baghdad who one day pauses to rest on a bench outside the gate of a rich merchant’s house. The owner of the house is Sinbad the Sailor, who hears the porter’s lament and sends for him. Amused by the fact that they share a name, Sinbad the Sailor relates the tales of his seven wondrous voyages.
