After a while he was washed ashore on another island. He ran across the sandy beach and climbed the tallest palm tree, to try to see his ship. But alas, Sinbad had been left all alone, and his ship was nowhere to he seen.
As he gazed down from the tree, Sinbad noticed a huge white egg on the sand. He slid down the trunk to take a better look. All of a sudden, a big black shadow passed over him. There, circling overhead, was a great white bird - almost as big as the island.

Now' my chance to escape," thought Sinbad. and when the great white bird flew down onto its egg, Sinbad unwound his turban and tired himself onto the bird's gigantic leg.
Sure enough, the bird flew off carrying Sinbad with him. His plan had worked. The great bird flew high into the air, through deep valleys, and over mountains, until at last it landed, and sinbad could untie his turban and escape.
