I can't hold on any longer.

Reach further! A little more!

Help me, help me.

Be brave! Hasan is coming.

Hurry Hasan!

Uhha ha, hurry Cleo, hurry!

Quit stalling and get it in gear!

Look, it's right there.

If you could just go a little faster.

Huagh! Come back Cleo, come back!

Grab onto the rope!

You see Cleo, ha ha ha ha!

This is an example of the superior human

brain at work. Ahhh! Ouuff!

What an idiot.

There it goes.

Hold on, Cleo!

Don't let go! Hold on tight!

I see it, I see it. It's coming closer.

Don't let go!

Here it comes.

Hold on! Hold on!

Aaahhh! Gotcha Ya!

Daaha ha! Aha ha ha ha ha...

Oh, dad, I think he's gonna be alright.

Ah, yes.

Where am I?

You're safe, son.

Everything's gonna be alright now.

Daddy, I was really scared.

You're safe now, son, don't worry.

No need to be afraid.

Ahh, yes, my strong son the brave hero.

We've ended up a long way

from the wagon, dad.

Huh! The jar! The jar!

Aha ha ha ha haaa...

I can't believe it.

How could they forget it?

Well, it's in good hands now.

I'll take some with me and

leave the rest hidden in here.

Ya see, good things come

to those who wait.

Now, I shall take my leave knowing

you're safe here.

I'm on top of the world!

I am the richest man in the world!

Aha ha ha ha ha, Aha ha ha ha ha!

Huh, wah, wah... Uh, uh, uh.

Who's there?

Waaahhh! Aaaahhh!

No! No!

You musn't show yourselves yet.

Come back here.

Where are you?

Enad, what are you doing here?

Nothing. Hee, hee, hee nothing at all.

Haa, haa, haa you look lovely.

Poor Cleo bumped her head.

You could give her something for it.

What's under your hand, Enad?

Eh, did you feed the food and cook

the donkey?

What? What are you hiding?

Let go of my hand.

How would you like to go

on a shopping spree?

Um, uh, in the village.

And ahh, you can buy whatever you like.

A jewel?

Where did you get it from?

What difference does it make where

I got it from?

The point is it'll transform our

dreary life into a happy one.

Stop it! Whaddaya mean a happy life?

You're old enough to know...

...that happiness doesn't come

from dirty money...

...but from honest hard work.

Honest work. Ya right, that's a good one.

It's all a bunch of hooey.

This hut is what honest work'll getcha.

It can buy us one, two,

three, ten castles.

Money money just one...

Money money money... we'll buy the

finest hats, perfumes,

silk clothing and we'll dine on gourmet

meals prepared by the best chefs.

We'll have a hundred servants.

This money will keep us warm and rich.

This stolen money's going to burn us,

and I don't want any part of it.

You can keep it!

Eye of Heaven, I'm downhearted...

...and confused and sad.

I've lost the jar.

I'm full of sorrow.

Please help me my Lord.

Be my guidance oh my Lord.

Lord of Heavens save my soul.

Holy Promise The Holy Promise.

Proves the virtue of the man.

Gives him strength,

the strength to stand.

Despite the setting sun...

...I keep on searching.

I ask myself if it's all worth while.

But I know the answer will come to me.

For my life is based on honesty.

Holy Promise The Holy Promise.

Proves the virtue of the man.

Gives him strength,

the strength to stand.

No, no more despair.

This lost treasure

overwhelmed my soul.

Everyday I go on searching.

By the valleys and the streams.

I do my best to serve my neighbor.

I do my best to please my God.

Everyday I go on searching.

By the valleys and the streams.

I do my best to serve my neighbor.

I do my best to please my God.

Everyday I go on searching.

By the valleys and the streams.

I do my best to serve my neighbor.

Holy Promise The Holy Promise.

Gives him strength, the strength to stand.

Gives him strength, the strength to stand.

Gives him strength,

Ehhh, you've caught enough

for dinner, Hasan!

Come and help me look now.

Dad, we've been looking for a week.

I know.

Isn't that enough?

I really don't think

we're gonna find it, dad. O.K.

Oh, c'mon?

This isn't just an old shoe

we're looking for.

Daaahhh!

Greetings my good neighbours.

Hurgggh. Oh, Right in the eye!

Oh, I'm sorry, Enad.

I didn't see you there.

It's just an eye.

Tell me my good man.

How are things going?

The family good?

So how goes the fishing today?

How about giving some to me?

I prefer it fried.

Aaaaeeeeaaaa!

If ya wanna sell'em,

there's a guy in the village

named Jimmy Scales,

he's good and he'll give ya a fair price.

Just mention my name,

and he'll treat ya fine.

Thanks...

...but we're really busy looking for

something we lost here.

I certainly haven't seen it whatever it is...

...and I most certainly wouldn't

keep it for myself.

That wouldn't be nice.

Ah, let's check with the cards...

...and see what they say,

they always tell the truth.

Ah, here's the ace of diamonds...

...which means you've lost

something valuable.

Will you find it or not?

Oh, oh, the cards are saying:

"what has been lost will never be found"

Gosh, thanks Enad.

But I think we'll find what we

lost with hard work,

not by listening to ugly losing cards.

My cards never fail.

I know this for sure.

Uhhh, you'll see they're right.

Let's go, Cleo.

They're up the creek.

Good luck finding it.

Have a nice day.

Alright, Cleo, it's time

to go to my happy place.

La, la, la, la, la...

What a strange and annoying little man.

He really makes my skin crawl.

Ooh, I'd better watch my back.

I don't want anyone seeing me

going into this cave.

Hmm, I smell a rat.

Oh boy, this looks great.

I'm starving!

Here's Hasan's fish!

I'm quite hungry too.

All right!

Ha, ha, ha aw all right, wooohooo.

Blahh! Mom, please don't feed me

hot peppers anymore. I can't eat them.

Awe, c'mon. You're a big boy. You should

be able to eat a couple of peppers.

Mmm, I love hot peppers.

Well, if you like 'em so much,

try this, ha ha ha ha.

Ahh, all this good food's making me tired.

I know you're still worried,

but if you don't find the jar...

...then it just wasn't meant to be.

Haah, I wish I could swim like a fish

then I could've followed the jar.

Here ya go, Nutty,

I'm all finished with it.

Waahoo! All right, dinner

for one coming up.

Aaah! What!

Hey aren't you supposed to be

up a tree somewhere?

You could get into a lot of trouble

down here.

I sure told that big squirrel off.

Yikes! Big? Squirrel?

What's the big idea?

Stop pushing me around you moron.

I said stop pushing me around if you know

what's good for ya, see.

Aahh!

Now, how many times have I told you

to stay away from this chicken coop?

Aww, he doesn't know anything.

Aaaahhh!

Now lets get the other one, quick.

Okay.
