The Fourth Voyage Of Sinbad
Sinbad was left penniless and stranded on an island after a shipwreck. The islanders taught Sinbad how to gather pepper grains. Sinbad prospered as a pepper trader, settled down on the island and eventually married. Upon the death of his wife, Sinbad was buried alive in a cave with his dead wife, as per the islandâs customs. Sinbad killed incoming widows/widowers for their provisions to survive until he managed to dig a hole out of the cave.
