Read the passage from "the seven voyages of sindbad the sailor.”

in the times of the caliph haroun-al-raschid there lived in bagdad a poor porter named hindbad, who on a very hot day was sent to carry a heavy load from one end of the city to the other. before he had accomplished half the distance he was so tired that, finding himself in a quiet street where the pavement was sprinkled with rose water, and a cool breeze was blowing, he set his burden upon the ground, and sat down to rest in the shade of a grand house. very soon he decided that he could not have chosen a pleasanter place; a delicious perfume of aloes wood and pastilles came from the open windows and mingled with the scent of the rose water which steamed up from the hot pavement. within the palace he heard some music, as of many instruments cunningly played, and the melodious warble of nightingales and other birds, and by this, and the appetising smell of many dainty dishes of which he presently became aware, he judged that feasting and merry making were going on. he wondered who lived in this magnificent house which he had never seen before, the street in which it stood being one which he seldom had occasion to pass.

a. fatigue and curiosity
b. discomfort and peace
