In the second voyage, Sindbad sets sail again because he has become bored with his easy life in Baghdad. This
time he is accidentally abandoned by his shipmates on a beautiful island. But soon he is attacked by a giant bird and finds himself in a valley surrounded by dangerous snakes. Then he notices that the valley floor is covered in diamonds! Sindbad uses some meat to attract the giant bird which flies down to carry the meat (and Sindbad with it) back to its nest. In this way, Sindbad is able to escape from the valley with many diamonds. He is rescued by merchants and then returns to Baghdad as a very rich man.
