Sindbad's Seventh and Last Voyage

From The Arabian Nights Entertainments, collected by Andrew Lang

This tale is the seventh and final voyage of Sindbad the Sailor, a story cycle found in The Arabian Nights (also called The Thousand and One Nights). The collection was gathered and translated by various scholars over centuries; this version was compiled by Andrew Lang in the nineteenth century. The Arabian Nights blends folklore from Persian, Arabic, and Indian traditions and has captivated readers for generations with its tales of adventure, magic, and moral wisdom. This text reflects its era; a few period terms have been modernised. The story is worth reading because it asks whether rest is earned through suffering, and whether wisdom—even in animals—can triumph over force.
