On his seventh voyage, Sindbad returns to Serendip
and the king gives him more beautiful things to take
to Baghdad. On the journey home, his ship is attacked
by pirates and Sindbad is sold to a merchant as a slave. The merchant teaches him to hunt elephants and says
he will free him when he has collected the tusks of a five hundred elephants. One day an elephant leads Sindbad
to the elephants’ graveyard where the merchant can find thousands of tusks without having to kill the elephants. Sindbad is rewarded with many tusks, which he sells. With the money from the tusks he finds a ship bound for Basra.
