Towards the end of the party; as people began to stream out of the doors, Sinbad began to talk to Hinbad.

“I’m glad you could come,” said Sinbad, “but, I heard you say something when you were outside on the street. Could you tell me what you said?”

With his head down in shame; Hinbad replied, “I’m sorry; Sir, but due to exhaustion I began to speak out of jealousy towards you and your life of comfort. Forgive me.”

“No need to feel sorry,” Sinbad responded, “considering the situation you are in, I can understand your frustration. You must assume that I have made my wealth without lifting a finger, but I’ve gone through great efforts to amass this fortune.”

“What type of efforts?” asked Hinbad.

“Well; many dangers and near-death situations out on my seven voyages through the seas, and how they’ve led me to my current fame and fortune.”

Sinbad ordered his servants to carry Hinbad’s shipment to its destined location, while Hinbad stayed behind to listen to Sinbad’s story.
