BABAR THE KING (2)

BABAR THE KING (2)



Having called an assembly of all the elephants, Babar climbs up on a packing case and, in a loud voice, proclaims the following ward ;
" My friends, I have in these trunks, these bales, and these sacks , gifts for each of you.
There are dresses, suits, hats and materials, paint boxes, drums, fishing tackle and rods, ostrich feathers, tennis rackets and many other things.
I will divide all this among you as soon as we have finished building our city.
This city ー the city of the elephants  ー  I would like to suggest that we name Celesteville, in honor of your Queen. "

All the elephants raised their trunks and cried: " What a good idea !  What an excellent idea ! "



The elephants set to work quickly.
Arthur and Zephir hand out the tools.
Babar tells each one what he should do.
