- Episode 23: Zanzibar, the large forest.

- Music

- Habi! You smell that odour coming from the island there?

- It doesn’t come from the island Senouhi. It's the smell of Hamou’s feet that is going to sink the boat!

- But there’s a smell that comes from the island there.

- What smell?

- That of my toothpaste!

- That of cloves.

- That’s what I said.

- We arrive in Zanzibar. The island is full of toothpaste,

- I mean cloves! There are about 1 million clove trees.

- It is big.

- Its area is nothing compared to that of Memphis. It is 85 km on 40, and there is a river called Moira.

- What can be found on an island like this?

- You’re going to see unique things.

- The nearest coast is Tanganyika, 56 km.

- I don’t think we’ll see more than animals and trees.

- In Zanzibar you will discover a strange way to hunt African elephants.

- It is different from the Indian elephant?

- Habsonik priest told me African elephants are bigger than Indian ones.

- But the Indian elephant is more friendly and intelligent. It can be trained as it has a good memory.

- And of course, it is hunted for its ivory tusks.

- It is true, Titi Cheri, the largest source of ivory is the African elephant.

- I see you did a research, captain Merneptah.

- I've lived here for 7 years.

- Music

- Zanzibar in sight!

- Stop yelling and help me with the sail instead.

- I decided to go on an adventure and hunt a large African elephant with large ivory tusks.

- So tell me how you’re going do that I denounce you. Hunting elephants is prohibited.

- You’d not do that Hamou? You're my friend, we know each other for a long time.

- I’ll give you half of the reward that I will get for denouncing you.

- Warning for Hamou and Mossat from Titi Cheri: the one that will approach an elephant will have problems.

- And what if it’s it that approaches?

- You will have problems as well.

- I hope this trip will be trouble-free.

- There will be no problems if you respect the rules.

- What are the rules, Titi Cheri?

- You must not hunt animals or get close.

- Tell them to not get close too.

- We must not separate during our stay in Zanzibar.

- I agree, only if Hamou washes his feet.

- Important decision: Hamou will not get off if he doesn’t wash his feet.

- So I won’t!

- I'm going to wash my feet, and even with perfume, Titi Cheri.

- Mr. Haman, Police Chief! What are you watching? We are all supposed to get off the boat.

- Senouhi! This land is unknown to us. We don’t know how its people live, how they think and will welcome us.

- We only know that they live in tribes, fishing and hunting.

- You mean they have neither temples nor obelisks or pyramids?

- They don’t even have houses, only traps for animals.

- I knew we were going to see nothing in such a country.

- We arrived at the beach!

- Music

- The smell here is really refreshing. We should plant clove trees on our return to Memphis

- and we could organize trips to here to have a change of air.

- Those who plant clove trees and live here must be artists.

- Habousnik priest! How do people in Zanzibar look like?

- What do you mean, Titi Cheri? They are normal people.

- Ask me on the locals. This is where I had the best 7 years of my life. They have no equal, they are extremely nice and sweet.

- Their smile never leaves their faces. You just need to see them to be happy. Their beauty and delicacy are indescribable.

- Music

- It is those you described, captain Merneptah?

- They have changed a little but their heart is good. We see it on their faces.

- What do you see on their faces, captain Merneptah? Something seemed to greatly excite them.

- No, Titi Cheri, they looked happy, as if they had found a prey.

- Let’s choose one of us to explain them we are friends, on a tourist trip,

- we went to the wrong place and we go on right now.

- Who to choose except for the one who lived with them for 7 years?

- I don’t think this is the country where I lived.

- Go on Mossat !

- Go on what?

- Go on so I can tell my friends when I returned that there was a hero called Mossat with us.

- No, you’ll tell your Criminal friends that there was someone called Mossat

- who refused to follow orders and I imprisoned him in the boat for the whole trip.

- If we can go back to the boat.

- It is the Chief Haman who should go talk to them. Isn’t he in charge of the safety of the trip?

- You’re right Mossat.

- What tragic end waits for me?!

- Musique

- We are a Pharaonic delegation and we are on an expedition.

- Music

- I am Tarou, chief of the Chouchik tribe. Do not be afraid, this is our way to greet and welcome friends.

- You do not know our traditions but to prove you that you are friends I will greet you one by one.

- He wants to greet me with his huge hand! No thanks! You can consider us as your enemies.

- I could never bear greetings like that.

- I forgot to tell you that the whole tribe has to greet us one by one to show us its friendship.

- What are these strange traditions? If we are greeted by the whole tribe our faces will swell.

- No! Chief Haman, said to them that we greet from afar.

- Not before greeting my turn.

- Haman! If you don’t greet your turn he will consider you as an enemy and their behaviour will change completely.

- You sure captain Merneptah?

- Of course. Go on, greet him!

- Music

- I now understand why it is said that who greets everyone one meets no one!

- We often have visitors from the peninsula, as the Omani,

- but this is the first time we receive people from the land of pharaohs. We should have a party.

- Since they are not common, how will be their party captain Merneptah?

- Their party was intense, they tied me to a tree for 7 days and 6 nights.

- When we receive a friend we organize him a dance and a dinner.

- That's what I wanted, I'm sorry for what I said earlier.

- I have washed my feet to watch it, otherwise I’d be with Hamou on the boat.

- Turn him over!

- What? I didn’t come here to be turned over! What will people say about me.

- Even if your appearance is doubtful, the smell of your feet proves that you are a good man. You will participate in the party.

- We should all have washed our feet.

- Wait! We have not yet seen what’s going to happen.

- What have you done Captain Merneptah for they attach you for 7 days and 6 nights?

- I remember it was because of a strong laughing at a joke of their leader. It was a bad joke.

- I thought I should laugh to make him happy and they thought I was making fun of him.

- I'll tell you a joke. A tired man marries a tired woman. How do they call their son? "Phew!"

- Even with a reward I wouldn’t laugh.

- Will we be punished if we don’t laugh?

- Why, the joke’s not funny?

- You want me to be honest or not?

- I prefer not, of course.

- It is very funny. It makes people very comfortable.

- My wife told me the same.

- Princess Tamarina!

- Who’s princess Tamarina?

- She is my daughter and heir, the princess. Her nickname is « Granted orders Princess. »

- It means that all she wants have to be given to her. Her dreams must come true. Princess Tamarina!

- If it's like that, I'll be his friend and we’ll correspond by carrier pigeon.

- She is very beautiful.

- Music

- What a beauty!

- What a sweet beauty! Is she going to a masked ball?

- She made herself up to meet you.

- She should not have.

- Daddy! Daddy! Daddy! I want this man to show me around the forest of lions.

- Okay, I'll hide here, and you, go find me in the forest of lions.

- Be happy Mossat! Princess trusts you.

- And I trust her father!

- Go on Mossat!

- Where?

- Show Tamarina around the forest of lions.

- Are you not afraid for your lions ?

- There are lions here?

- No, in this forest there are lots of animals that can show up from anywhere.

- What a joy! And we sit here like this!

- Predators do not dare to go where chief Tarou is.

- Princess Tamarina! No one can play with a lion or any other predator.

- Run! A herd of elephants attack us.

- Runnig! But where? We are with chief Tarou!

- Elephants have a developed sense of smell. They panic only if there is a strange odour, and especially if it is bad one.

- Pff! We should find a solution for the smell of your feet.

- If you do not wash them we throw you into the sea.

- Obviously you smell something that I absolutely don’t smell.

- Music

- We let you choose between washing your feet and spending the rest of your life on this beach. You will not get on this boat with this odour.

- Where have they gone? The smell of cloves is too strong.

- Music

- Help! Mossat, where are you? African elephants are coming! Believe me, this is Moussat who wanted to hunt them and not me.

- Are they not herbivorous? Maybe they want the grass I have in my mouth? Help! Elephants are chasing after me!

- Wash your feet and I will let you get on the boat.

- Where can I wash them? There is no tap.

- Ocean is big!

- Elephants are getting closer.

- You're free to choose between washing your feet and being attacked by elephants.

- It doesn’t matter Senou, let’s help him get on before the elephants catch him.

- Do not ask me to wash for 1 year.

- Why are you like that Hamou?

- Once I washed my feet and my friends were no more embarrassed, so I felt bad.

- We are saved from the elephants!

- Where are Titi Cheri and Princess?

- My daughter, Tamarina.

- They may be injured? We must find them.

- What should we do Chief Haman?!

- We'll get them, but we must protect ourselves from predators that we will encounter.

- Chief Tarou, how do we do?

- When we want to protect ourselves from predators we hide in caves.

- What a joy!

- Come elephant, come! Let me go down! Let me play with the elephant!

- Where do you want to go Tamarina? You think you can ride it and play with it?! This is a huge African elephant,

- it can destroy an obelisk in one hit! You used to play with elephants?

- No, daddy Tarou always says: "Tamarina, never go near the elephants!"

- So what I say is true. You must obey your father.

- But I'm a princess and this is the elephant who must obey me.

- The elephant doesn’t know if you’re a princess or not! If you go down it will harm you.

- I'll show you that he will obey me! Elephant! Elephant! I'm Princess Tamarina. Come play with me!

- Look what it’s doing now! Calm down a bit!

- Music

- You see what I see! Titi and Tamarina are on the tree there and the huge elephant tries to make them fall.

- We have to catch the elephant’s attention for Titi Cheri and Tamarina to be able to go down the tree and run away.

- Awesome! If we catch the elephant’s attention it will attack us!

- We catch its attention by going on a tree and then we wait for it to come to us.

- So it will be useless. Titi Cheri will have escaped and we will have fallen into the same trap. Who will come for us?

- Elephant is afraid of what?

- They fear two things: fire and loud sounds.

- Then we should light a fire to scare him.

- Look Habi!

- There are several elephants now.

- So we’ll light a bigger fire.

- Music

- You let the elephant go without letting me play with it!

- Can someone explain her that no one can play with an African elephant.

- Let’s leave before they come back.

- We are going to miss you.

- Really, we’ve seen traditions that nobody would have dared to imagine.

- Even then, you’ve seen nothing!

- Music
