I read “The Adventures of Sinbad the Sailor” today. It comes from a collection of Arabian stories known as The Thousand and One Nights. There are seven stories of Sinbad. Sinbad was a man lived in the city of Baghdad with his father. His father was a rich merchant, so Sinbad was rich. When his father died, Sinbad decided to go on a voyage with silks and spices.
After a week at a sea, Sinbad and companions found a sandy island. And they dropped anchor by the island. They were cooking supper over a fire, when the ground began to move! In fact, the island was not island, they were on a very big whale. It was first voyage. He experienced many adventures during his voyage. He sometimes was in dangerous scene. However, he had enjoyed voyages.
I think that it is good to go on a voyage for Sinbad. If he didn’t go a voyage, he didn’t have a wife. To tell the truth, he got married with a beautiful woman, Emira in his seventh voyage. My favorite line is when Sinbad said to Emira “Why don’t we go sailing?” (Daynes, 2007, p.46). He tried to go sailing forever! He had good experience and happiness during voyages. I want to go many places and countries as he did!
