Finally; upon telling Hinbad of these experiences, Sinbad turned to him and asked, “do you see the reality of the life I have lived, and how much hardship I had to endure to amass the fortune I have now?”

“Sinbad, I now realize that the troubles you’ve endured for your fortune are far worse than anything I’ve ever dealt with,” responded Hinbad. “You deserve this wealth, as you also give greatly to the poor.”

Ever since that day; Hinbad and Sinbad became the closest of friends, and Hinbad spent every evening eating at Sinbad the Sailor’s table.

The End
