The Voyages of Sindbad (39)
When the sun rose I crept down from the tree with hardly a hope of escaping the dreadful fate which had overtaken my comrades ; but life is sweet, and I determind to do all I could to save myself.
All day long I toiled with frantic haste and collected quantities of dry brusshwood, reeds and thorns, which I tied into bundles.
I piled them firmly one upon another until I had a kind of tent in which I crouched like a mouse in a hole when she perceives the cat coming.
You may imagine what a fearful night I passed, for the snake returned eager to devour me, and glided round and round my frail shelter seeking an entrance.
Every moment I feared that it would succeed in pushing aside some of the bundles, but happily for me they held together, and when it grew light my enemy retired, baffled and hungry, to his den.
