قبول کردن سندباذ تعلیم شهزاذه را برآرذ واگر دیرتر بمانذ بمامی جوهر او ژنگ بخورذ، وبعد ازان با تش ودارو اصلاح واخلاص نیذیرذ ، وهمچنین هالی کی کژ رسته باشذ اگر درتقویم او زیادت تکلفی وتکلیفی روذ بشکنذ وباطل گردذ ، وربج تعهد او ضایع شوذ (8/1) سندباذ کی یکی بوذ از حملهآ این هفت حکیم گفت حوستی بطالع این کوذک متصل بوذ اکنون آن مناحیس زایل میشوذ، من اورا قبول کم وجملهآ علوم در آموزم ، از بهر آنک آدمی بحیلت مرغ را از هوا در آرذ وماهی را از قعر دریا بر آرذ وبهیمهٔ‌ توسن وحشیرا آلوف ومرتاض گردانذ ، فیلسوفان مستحمعتر نست کی روزگار اورا بر افادت علوم وافاضت حکمت ودانش مستغرق داشته است ، وهر مرغی را کی چینهٔ‌ تربیت او دهذ با سیمرغ هم عنانی کنذ وبا طاؤس هم آشیانی نمایذ ، وهر حمالی را کی مشاطگی عقل او کنذ وحلتی پیرایه قریحت او بندذ بافتاب برابری وبا ماه هم سری توانذکرد ، نفس اورا خواص دم مسیحاست ونظر اورا تأثیر طبع کیمیا . سندباذ گفت : بلی هرچند من حکیم وعالمم ، اما بگفتار شما مغرور نشوم وبدمدمهآ شما

> Sindbād accepts the prince’s instruction  
> and if it remains longer, rust entirely consumes its substance, after which it will not accept correction or purification by fire or chemical. Likewise, a sapling that has grown crooked: if excessive  
> trouble and strain are applied in straightening it, it will break and be ruined, and the toil of tending it will be wasted.”  
> Sindbād, who was one of those seven sages, said: “An inauspiciousness was joined to this child's horoscope,  
> and now those malefic influences are waning. I shall accept him and teach him all the sciences.  
> For by stratagem a human being brings down a bird from the air, brings up a fish  
> from the bottom of the sea, and makes a wild, stubborn beast tamed and trained.” The philosophers \[replied\]:  
> “There is no one more qualified \[than you\], for time has engrossed him in imparting sciences and bestowing wisdom and knowledge.  
> Any bird to which he gives the feed of his nurture can run rein-to-rein with the Sīmurgh and share a nest with the peacock;  
> and any beauty for whom his intellect acts as tire-woman, and attaches ornaments to the beauty of her temperament, can rival the sun and match the moon.  
> His breath possesses the properties of the breath of the Messiah, and his gaze possesses the effect of the nature of alchemy.” Sindbād  
> said: “Yes, however much I am a sage and scholar, I shall not be deceived by your words, nor duped by your cajolery,  
> just as that monkey fell into the trap by the words of the fox.” They asked:  
> “How was that? Relate that story!”
