That night, when the demon was sleeping, everyone pierced his eyes with the horns heated in

the fire. He woke up trembling in pain and tried to catch the sailors. They all hid here and there.
The blind demon started running screaming in the fort.

After that all the sailors ran and boarded their fleet. In no time the blind demon reached behind
them along with many demons. They bled many sailors by throwing huge rocks.

There was a huge shouting all around. The sailors could not understand who survived and who

was killed. Once upon a time there was darkness in front of Sindbad’s eyes as well.
It seemed that no man would be able to escape from the ravages of the demons. They all started

remembering Allah. Sindbad renewed his courage and began to advance his fleet in another
direction.

Sindbad somehow managed to escape with two sailors. They reached a green island. After

eating some fruits, he fell asleep exhausted. Suddenly Sindbad’s eyes opened on hearing the
hiss of the snake. The snake had killed one of his companions. Sindbad sat on a tree with

another companion. They started filling their stomachs by eating the fruits of the same tree.
At night the snake climbed the tree and swallowed Sindbad’s companion. Sindbad somehow

saved his life.
The next day Sindbad made a tent for himself out of reeds, grass and dry wood. That night

Sindbad remained safe in it. The snake could not harm him even after wanting it. All night he

could hear the hiss of a snake outside his tent.
The snake somehow wanted to take Sindbad’s life by entering the tent. Sindbad had seen that

it was a poisonous snake. If even his breath had touched him, he might not have survived. In
the morning, the snake got tired and went back to its burrow.

After all these journeys he was very happy to see these places and every place he creates

humour and adventures
