The Voyages of Sindbad (20)
Taking off my turban I bound myself securely to the huge claw with the linen in the hope that the roc, when it took flight next morning, would bear me away with it from the desolate island.
As soon as dawn appeared the bird rose into the air carrying me up till I could no longer see the earth, and then suddenly it descended so swiftly that I almost lost consciousness.
When I became aware that the roc had settled and that I was once again upon solid ground, I hastily unbound my turban from its foot and freed myself, and that not a moment too soon ; for the bird, pouncing upon a huge snake, killed it with a few blows from its powerful beak, and seizing it up rose into the air once more and soon disappeared from my view.
