Myths and Legends

71A-Sinbad the Sailor: Venture

Sinbad (no, not that Sinbad) is probably the 3rd most famous story from a collection titled "One Thousand and One Nights". It's a story of loss, hardship, and redemption...and then partying so hard that you forget all that loss, hardship, and redemption and need to do it all over again. Six more times. On the plus side, it's not just about an out-of-touch rich guy being out-of-touch and rich, but being so while experiencing some pretty weird stuff.  
 
The creature this time is an awkwardly hot squirrel thing who wants to cram a metaphor about pride down your throat.
