Sinbad and Hakim followed the giant. Soon they found the giant. The giant ate the man and went off to sleep. Sinbad and Hakim explored the place. It was the famous diamond valley. “Earlier, merchants used to come there to take the gems but now because of this giant no one dares to come here” ,Sinbad told Hakim. The giant was in a deep sleep. Suddenly, there appeared a man dressed in rags. He got scared on seeing Sinbad and Hakim. Sinbad told him that he would not harm him. A man told Sinbad that four years back, he came to this island looking for diamonds and this giant has got him as his prisoner now.
Sinbad asked him for help to get rid of this monster. He told everything what he knew. There was only one way to kill that monster. There was a sword inside the cave which was guided by a ferocious snake. Sinbad went inside and found a big snake lying around the sword. Sinbad took out his sword and killed it before even the snake could get up.
He took the sword and came out. The giant was snoring loudly and was sleeping. Sinbad went close and attacked with the sword into the giant’s eye. The giant died. Hakim and the man were very happy. They went out to find the way. There was plenty of wood available near the sea-shore. Everyone worked together and made small raft.Once it was ready, they all took the gems and set sail.
After a few days at sea, they spotted a ship passing by. They all shouted for help. The ship came near and took them. Finally, they returned to Baghdad. Sinbad went home and lived happily with his wife.
