THE FOURTH VOYAGE

Once again, this voyage starts out much like the other voyages of Sinbad. Bored with his wealth and the comfort that comes with it, he pursued another voyage of adventure.

Once again, he traveled with many merchants out into the ocean from the port of Basra, another city in Iraq.

After what was a mostly comfortable journey of trading, another storm settled upon the sea and led Sinbad and his ship far into the ocean.

Eventually the winds became so strong and aggressive that every part of the ship was torn apart, along with all the items they were going to trade.

Sinbad found himself and many others of his crew washed up on the shoreline of a foreign island. Despite their exhaustion and hunger, they decided to walk further into the depths of the island.

They soon found themselves at the gate of a nice-looking house. Out came from it many men.

Even though they spoke a language unknown to Sinbad and his fellow men, the strangers were kind and led them on a tour throughout the island.

Soon they were introduced to the king of the island, whom let them feast on a variety of delicacies.

Sinbad noticed how his fellow merchants ate sloppily; in a way that was so vicious and aggressive, it was as if they were possessed.

What was even weirder though, was that the king and his fellow men did not seem bothered by such poor manners whatsoever.

Then, Sinbad realized something – the merchants were possessed by something that made them eat, eat, and eat! Until they couldn’t get away anymore. Who knows what were the real intentions of the strange men and their king?
