I. The Porter and the Sailor
Long ago, when the Caliph Harun al-Rashid ruled in Baghdad, there lived in that city a poor porter called Hindbad. A porter is a man who carries heavy things for other people.
One very hot day Hindbad had to carry a heavy load across the whole city. Halfway there, he was so tired that he could hardly walk. In a quiet street he put down his load and sat in the shade of a big house. Sweet smells came from its windows. Inside he could hear music and the songs of birds, and there was a smell of good food. He went up to one of the servants at the door.
“Who lives in this house?” he asked.
“What?” said the servant. “You live in Baghdad and you don’t know? This is the house of Sinbad the Sailor, the famous traveller.
