The Third Voyage of Sindbad The Sailor

I had a horrible experience during my third voyage. It so happened that the ship in which we were sailing was caught in a violent storm. The ship was dragged ashore by hairy savages who ordered us to vacate the ship and then they took the ship to an unknown Island. Soon we came to a palace like building and on entering one of its room we were struck with horror at the repulsive display of crude things - heaps of men's bones, a large number of skewers/ for roasting joints of meat/ were scattered. Suddenly there appeared a terrible ogre in the room with a roar. The big monster was as tall as a tree and had a huge eye in the middle of his forehead. His ears flapped down like those of an elephant.
