The king of Sri Lanka was beyond delighted to see Sinbad.

After giving the king the gift provided by the caliph; which consisted of some of the finest artifacts, fabrics, and various other gifts of value that the world had to offer, the king was so delighted with the gifts that he provided Sinbad with many other gifts to give back to the caliph.

After many days out in the sea, all was fine and dandy until Sinbad, his crew, his vessel and all that it carried was seized by a group of pirates.

Unfortunately, all the gifts meant for the caliph of Baghdad were stolen, and Sinbad and his crew were taken to a strange faraway island by the pirates to become slaves!

Sinbad ended up becoming a servant for a rich merchant on the island. Sinbad was tasked with one job: to hunt elephants for their ivory tusks. All he was provided with was a measly bow and arrow.
