One is not able to

to leave now.

- Why?

- Wait.

They are going to eat

and after them will fall asleep.

Then one will leave.

Quickly, take this paddle!

Pass me the rope!

Do you want us to make kill?

You believe

what they would have mercy?

If the king knew,

would not he/it have mercy?

The king was a silly.

I hope that he/it suffers to death.

Do you hate it so much?

Everybody hated it.

So only

I could hold it there,

I would tell to him

Tell it to me,

I am king Ahmad.

My king would make himself/itself kill.

Dead,

You seem me

to be the prince of the thieves.

The breeze

will push us toward the liberty.

I possessed everything,

except the liberty.

And me, it is the opposite.

What are we going to make?

What you want.

In 3 days one will be in Bassora.

Take this stick and shoot!

I want to be a sailor

Life on dry land

The one of the sultan, let's see!

You know well,

Toys?

Of where take yourselves,

beggars of nothing at all?

The sultan has the most beautiful

collection of the world.

Of the toys?

The sultan is aged

and he/it falls again in childhood.

He/it stays up more jealously

on his/her/its toys

that on his/her/its own girl.

I told to some enough.

Out of my path,

bags to fleas.

Allah is with you.

I question some.

as a star!

Release me!

I cannot leave.

I must see it again.

If you see it again,

after you will follow me?

I will follow you.

Oh my poor heart

who palpitates so strong

Today

Because it is necessary for us to wait

of the men

this famous tender word

And when, oh my heart,

This one makes itself hear

Beat the chamade and venerate

This word that would be able to

to be sincere

Don't go there!

II has a genius there!

A genius!

Are you afraid?

Yes, frightfully.

Why don't you flee?

I want to see.

You are my first genius.

Then, observe me well.

It is not necessary to lie to a genius.

You are not ugly.

Are you a good genius?

Not indeed.

The good geniuses are overwhelming.

Do you live thereunder?

No.

- Why are you there?

- To see you.

I was going to bathe.

I wait.

Whereas you are there?

Give me your hand, in water.

You left!

I didn't want.

Will I ever see you again?

Ever?

Don't be afraid,

I am not a genius.

Who are you?

Your slave.

From where do you come?

On the other side of the time,

to find you.

Did you look for me since when?

The beginning of the times.

And now,

will you a long time remain?

Until the end of the times.

For me,

you are what of more beautiful has.

He/it is not

of bigger pleasure for me

that the one to satisfy you.

You will be there

tomorrow at the same hour?

A gardener supervises this park

day and night,

he/it is called the Death.

You must not come.

Prohibit me from coming.

Me then to forbid you it.

To tomorrow!

On every following day...

Did you see it?

We will be able to leave

this night.

I cannot leave.

Why?

You yet saw it again.

Exactly, for it

I cannot leave anymore.

Sensible.

Then I will leave alone.

How will avoid you keep them

without my help?

I will find a means.

You will make yourself take.

Do you remain with me?

Why?

Whereas you dream to leave?

Why would you remain?

Because I am as silly as you.

The following day,

Jaffar the usurper

makes visit

to the sultan of Bassora.

Brother of the Lions...

Fountain of hospitality...

I have the most beautiful

collection of automatons

from all over the world.

This one is the most remarkable.

He/it measures the time.

See how he/it functions.

Magic, this is not?

Dangerous, to not to put

between the people's hands.

Dangerous?

If people

can measure the time,

you won't be anymore

the Mr. of the Time.

They will be interested in the time.

Very just.

They must not know.

Hold, look at which...

What thoroughness.

What precision.

What mastery.

I prefer them

so about my cases...

Watch.

See.

No,

there is the most sublime of all.

Admire that.

I turn the key

and they make the same thing

every time,

as I hear it.

What doesn't make

still my topics

and I see myself obligated

to make decapitate them.

Magnificent collection

and nearly complete.

Nearly complete?

But, my collection

is quite complete.

Don't be mistaken.

I know that only a miracle

could complete

this magnificent collection.

He/it is

that this miracle exists.

An automaton

more beautiful than mine?

Knowing

your interest on the subject,

I brought it with me.

Show it to me, quickly.

I am in a hurry to see that.

That I am in a hurry to see that!

If His/her/its Size

wants to carry up it.

What is he/it going to make?

Will II advance?

Will he/it rear?

Will II move the tail?

Is not he/it going to kick, hey?

I must confess

that I am nervous

so much that I don't know well
