Anyone else would die of thirst
in a few days. In this arid desert...
... that looks like a paradise,
there's no surface water.
But the slender, graceful
Bushmen of the Kalahari...
... live here contentedly and in complete
harmony with their environment.
They have lived undisturbed for
... the only people in the world who know
how to live without surface water.
When ivory poachers in high-tech
vehicles intrude into this thirst-land...
... to hunt elephant, they have to drag
reservoirs of water with them.
And when the water runs low they have to
hightail it out of the Kalahari again.
So the Bushmen work and play
in peaceful isolation unaware...
... of the crowded, hectic
...and even of the wars that are fought
on the very fringes of the Kalahari.
Sometimes Xixo tells about the time
he looked for the end of the Earth...
...and about the strange,
heavy people he met...
...but it's difficult to describe
those who live outside the Kalahari.
He always ends by saying the heavy
people know some magic...
... that can make things move
and even fly, but they're not bright...
...because they can't survive without
their magic contrivances.
In the mornings, they like
to read the news.
They can read that
the hyena has a new girlfriend...
... the cheetah has lost a baby,
and the oryx is migrating to the west.
Older children teach younger ones how
to read the gossip about the animals...
...because everything that happens in the
Kalahari gets printed out in the sand.
It's all printed out here. This is where
they started infringing on the patent.
Give it to me there.
Now, that I can present in court.
Go back to frame A.
And give me sales.
Cathy, will you take this?
Take him off.
Now, cost per unit.
And a printout on that.
Mr. Geoffrey says he has to go to
Hong Kong about the takeover.
- Tell him, '' Have a good flight.''
- He won't make the ECACL conference.
- He can't do that to me.
- He'd like you to read the paper.
You did the research,
so you deserve the honour.
I have to take this case
to court on Wednesday.
- Says you'll be back before Wednesday.
- Oh, boy.
That morning,
Xabe came with the news that...
... the animals are moving towards
the marula groves in the north.
He shouted, ''The marulas are ripe.
Let's go collect some. ''
Xisa and little Xiri ran up
and said, ''Can we come too?''
Xixo said, ''Let's see if you're big
enough. If you're taller than my bow...
... the hyena will be afraid and stay
away. If you're shorter, he'll take you. ''
But Xiri said, ''Please let me come too. ''
And Xisa said,
''I promise I'll always stay close to him. ''
- Where is the conference this year?
- In Okakarara.
- Where's that, Nebraska?
- No, Africa.
Oh, boy.
They gathered a lot of marulas
and on the way home they found...
... the spoor of a wounded elephant.
Xixo said, ''This elephant is
very weak. It's going to die. ''
He said to Xisa,
''You and Xiri can go on home.
Tell your mother we will come
when we've found the sick elephant. ''
There was a very strange
and beautiful pattern on the ground.
Xisa couldn't read it. She'd never
seen anything like it in her life.
There was another
as beautiful as the first.
She wondered how anything could make
such a long, unbroken track.
She followed the track and saw
a very strange-looking thing.
She said,
''This thing went round and round...
...and that's how it made such a long
pattern without footprints. ''
Xiri saw a beautiful dewdrop grow,
and when it dropped...
...another one began to grow in its place.
