Sinbad the Porter is toiling hard transporting goods across the city when he decides to rest on a bench outside the gates of a large house. He calls out to his god, complaining about his unrewarded work while wealthy merchants, who do little, can live in such grand homes. Sinbad the Sailor, the owner of the house, overhears the Porter’s prayers, and he sends for him to come inside. The pair bond over their shared name, and the Sailor entertains the Porter while telling him the seven stories of how he came to riches.
The Sailor gifts the Porter with not only the knowledge and wisdom from his voyages, but he also gives his new friend a great sum of money.
Sinbad the Sailor went on many thrilling adventures, and Pook Press has published his tale alongside a wealth of other exciting Arabian Nights stories.
