no, no. It can't be.

Why not? How do

you know it can't be?

I know, because something tells

me just passing through.

You won't stay.

-And if we want it to stay?

Oh, no. Not again.

Excuse my elephant,

he gets upset,

because every time

does a new come here

we have the same

discussions for hours.

Do you know what?

Seems all this arguments

won't settle anything.

Let's get moving

and you'll see for yourself.

The breezing smell of the

sea were a good present.

I was happy having rich the

new world made by dreams.

It was amazing.

And the best thing of all, we are

traveling on the back of Harry,

the giant elephant.

Let's go, Harry.

I saw, you said, this is

the country of dreams,

magic and magical

creatures but I don't see

that different from others.

What's special about it?

What's special about it?

This is where we keep all the stories

humans create with

their imagination.

All those stories

the rain from the sky

and the owls keep away

from the crow's claws.

How do you keep them?

-Who keeps them? -You ask a lot

of questions before bed?

You will see, everything in cause.

Hold on tight now.

Harry, the elephant, to cost

as his city for live old temples.

We were told, that an

elephants live together,

dedicated to protect him, reading

and memorizing stories.

This are the copies of the

books, saved by the owls.

Owls. -Yes, that's the guardians

of stories. -Guys, let's them work.

Let's go back.

The owls had rescue a lots

of copies of my story

and all of the children were

absorb and reading it.

Where do they come from?

It did not seen they live there.

There have no tables, chairs,

woo drops, beds or televisions.

It didn't matter,

they had a single mission,

to read the stories to the elephants,

so, they could memorize them

and on this way could save

all the memories of mankind.

It's the oldest

of them all.

This one keeps more stories.

-How old is it?

How old? We don't have ages

here. Nobody counts the years.

Is it thinking?

-Yes.

When is it thinking can

understand any human languages

and then memorizes

everything is it told.

But's it not thinking.

It's looking at as.

Elephants always

think with one eye open,

so, us to no one remember,

who telling them the story.

Can I tell it the story?

-Yes, he loves good stories

but only one condition.

-OK, what condition?

Once you'll told to elephant

the story, you and Mel

will have to go back to

your world. -But why?

We don't want to go back.

-No, we don't want to go back.

You promised me.

What's story can I tell it?

Tell it about your journey.

-If I tell it,

how I meets what I looking for?

-What's you looking for?

A boy, I met him in

my world, in Barcelona.

He showed me the

pass to his country.

Tell that to the elephant.

If it seen that boy

in one of the stories that

it keeps in its memory,

he will let you know.

I know a boy who is

very ill. He needs help.

He doesn't have

a home or any food

and he has to go to the

country of spirits,

there they talk with

trees and animals. I want

to help him. That's way

I'm looking for him.

I had seen him many

times in my dreams.

He sees me, ways he lives

but he lived stones away from me.

I know why he does that.

He wants me to meet him

in a special place. Maybe

this is the place.

Maybe you know him. Maybe

he lives in one of the stories

you keep in the memory.

Elephant, tell me,

where I can find him.

Where I can find him?

The elephants in the

country stories disappeared

and I found myself alone back in...

I didn't know where I was.

What about Mel? Did he

going back to his village?

What about me?

I wasn't back at home.

Where I had

ended up this time?

Tom! Jenny! That's

enough now.

You already say

good morning.

I'm Galla.

Who are you?

My name is Jana. -Jana?

I was expecting you.

Who me? But we even

don't know each other.

Someone gave me a

magical stone for you.

A stone for me? Who?

-A bushman boy,

who was riding on a bicycle.

-Does he know I looking for him?

Do you know him? Did he

say anything about me?

Look, is this a boy?

Yes. Yes, that's him.

He looks like the one

that shoot the

arrow at me.

He left some words saying,

for the girl who are becoming,

for you.

And this shiny stone.

Let's see. It's like the

other one he leaves me,

where ever he goes. -Why

does he leave you his stones?

I don't know but he must have

a good reason for doing it,

don't you think?

He knows I looking for him.

I came from very far away

to find him. -How did

you get here?

Where do you come from?

-My home is far away,

on the other side of the world.

One day, I set out on a trip to Africa

and when I woke up and

opened my eyes I found out

that I ended in desert. -Really?

Did you come to see our desert?

Yes. I'm adventures

and travels a world over.

Which world do you

looking for? -You know,

the world. The world in general.

-Look here. We have one.

Let me show you.

I realized, that made a

happy to show me her desert.

She pointed to a place where

Namib desert was written

island it in capitals letters.

I quickly realized, that she

wanted to share her country

and her things with me.

The world is so beautiful,

don't you think?

But this is a fake one.

-No, it's real. Look,

we are right here. Can't you see

the shadow of my finger above us?

Gee. Is that the shadow

of your finger? -Yes.

I move my finger and

the shadow moves too.

Shadows are magical but

I'm very familiar with them.

I show and I hide

my shadows where ever

and whenever I want and I always

know, where they going to show up

and where they going to hide.

-How do you do that?

Can I do it too?

-Give it a try.

Galla!

I'm here. I have a new load.

Jenna, we have a new flowers.

-What? What do you mean?

New flowers for our garden.

-Who brought them?

My mother. Come.

She goes out every day,

looking all over for the sick plants.

She rescues them and

brings them to our garden,

to replant them and cure them.

First stay with us and

live happily for many years.

Oh, hey. How

are you doing?

What are you doing up there?

-Just talking about the world.

Oh, great. That's

a good subject

but don't take too long.

It's just an insignificant

marble in the

middle of the space.

Oh, a new friend

from school?

Jana showing me how to

make shadows over the world.

And? -She comes

from the desert.

Oh, really?

Oh, I can see that.

In that case, Jana,

must be very thirsty

and hungry. So, I gonna

make you a nice meal.

Don't be too long.

And later you can help me

to transplant this

plants, hm? -Yes, mam.

Ok.

-I'll be right here.

Oh, this is so dry.

Do you like our hospital?

-Yes. I like it a lot.

I never seen one before.

I'm going to

take a picture.

This site and all those plants

had been save from certain death,

make me really happy.

Now that a new the deserts

and savannah

of Africa look like,

I knew how difficult

it was to survive.
