The boy found himself in a dry river bed, surrounded by steep cliffs too difficult to climb. He was trapped again.
"How did I get myself into this mess?" Sinbad cried out loudly, his voice echoing around the cliffs.
All of a sudden, there came a loud hissing noise. All around poor Sinbad large serpents slithered across the floor. Underneath the snakes were huge diamonds and gems - some as big as Sinbad himself.
At the sight of so much treasure, Sinbabs eyes opened wide. Then he remembered the snakes and ran to the nearest cave fir safety.
"I can hear voices," cried Sinbad in delight. "Someone is here to rescue me." The boy looked up and saw faces peering over the edge of the cliffs. Men were throwing somthing onto the rocks below. Cloud it be huge pieces of meat.
