Zarafa Page #2

---

He succeeded.

You have succeeded!

Do like I do, understand?

I've been waiting for you with impatience.

She is magnificent!

I'm glad she pleases you, your Highness.

I hope she will please the King of France, too.

There is no better present than this!

A present?

The idea is a bit crazy

but, to free his country from the Turks,

the Pasha of Egypt needed help from the King of France.

And hopefully, Zarafa would be enough to warrant it.

Your Highness,

how are you going to send the giraffe to France?

We're besieged by the Turks.

There is no way to leave the port.

There is one, Hassan.

There is one way.

There is our savior.

Captain Moreno has accepted to bring Zarafa to France.

Your Highness, this man you call "our savior"

is a slaver who does business with tomb raiders.

Yes, Hassan, but if he is in connivance with the Turks

they will let his ship pass.

And his goods?

You talk of a ship.

I am talking of a city.

The Great Alexandria.

With all due respect, your Highness,

I don't play with the lives of others.

Soula!

I don't trust this man.

Let me take Zarafa to France.

And how will you go past the Turks?

The Geese Road?

Are you mad?

I've never used that balloon before!

You want to cross the Mediterranean

with a giraffe on board?

Don't always reason with your head

listen to your heart.

Your Highness, this man is crazy. The desert sun boiled his brain.

Malaterre

Alexandria needs you.

But your Highness,

the Mediterranean...

is big!

It's very simple.

We need to go high enough to catch the warm currents.

Like the geese.

You really think we can travel like the geese?

Impossible!

Impossible?

You've been wanting to do this for years!

And now, you chicken out!

All right.

We leave this night.

Our fate is in your capable hands.

Give Zarafa to the King of France, and we are saved.

In Paris, go see a man named Saint-Hilaire.

He is the most renowned scientist in Europe.

He'll help you.

Then, you will hand-deliver this message to the King.

Alexandria shall be freed, this I swear.

Your balloon is awesome!

What are you doing?

Loading the cows.

The cows?

I thought we bring only the giraffe!

We need the cows to feed Zarafa.

Why not bring Benur also?

Benur stays.

He will take Maki to the South.

Can I come with you?

Not a chance!

We are taking Zarafa to France.

France?

Where is it?

Far away.

Very far.

Come down now.

No! Not without Zarafa!

She doesn't belong to you!

Free her!

Don't spoil everything.

You are free now.

I hate you!

I'll talk to him.

You love that giraffe, huh?

I promised her mother I'd take care of her.

Let me come with you.

Let me keep my promise.

Feelings only bring troubles.
