Reading Notes: Sindbad's Fifth Voyage

On Sindbad's fifth voyage the happen upon an unknown island that they find to be uninhabited. The story is told from the point of view of Sindbad. They happen upon an unhatched Roc egg and the crew decided to kill it and feast on it. At this point the two parents of the egg come down and want to reek havoc. The crew thinks they get away to only find the birds have come back with a rock to drop on their vessel. When retelling this story, I think I could tell the story from the perspective of the birds. It would be interesting to have their reactions and their interactions with each other.
