The Voyages of Sindbad (24)

  Until this moment I had looked upon the valley as my grave, but now I took courage  and began to devise a means of escape.

  I began by picking up the largest diamonds I could find and storing them in my leather wallet ; this I tied securely to my belt.

  I then chose the piece of meat which seemed most suited to my purpose, and with the aid of my turban bound it firmly to my back ; this done I lay down upon my face and awaited the coming of the eagles.

  I soon heard the flapping of thier mighty wings above me, and felt one of them seize upon my piece of meat, and me with it, and rise slowly towards his nest, into which he presently dropped me.

  Luckily for me the merchants were on the watch, and setting up their usual outsries they rushed to the nest scarint away the eagle.
