THE SEVENTH (AND LAST) VOYAGE

After gathering a great sum of profit from his previous voyage, Sinbad returned to his life of relaxation and peace. He did not have the intention of ever going out to sea ever again, as he knew of his interesting luck when it came to travel.

However; while entertaining his many friends in his palace, there was a firm knock on his door. It was a man sent by the caliph. He asked for Sinbad specifically, stating that the caliph wished to speak to him.

After making his way to the caliph’s palace, Sinbad was presented before him. After saluting the caliph, the caliph asked Sinbad to present a gift to the king of Sri Lanka.

While this seemed like a simple command, Sinbad was not interested whatsoever in ever leaving Baghdad ever again after what he has endured at sea. Sinbad told the caliph of his terrifying, albeit interesting experiences at sea.

Even after hearing all Sinbad had to say, the caliph was still persistent on sending him on his way.

“I understand your worries, but I am not asking you to send this gift to the king, but rather I demand you to do so,” stated the caliph firmly.

Sinbad took the letter and the gift provided by the caliph and made his way to Sri Lanka.
