00:23Sherman, when a person yells caramba and cries, what is he doing?
00:27Peeling Spanish onions? No, he's watching a bullfight.
00:30Is that what we're gonna do, Mr. Peabody?
00:32Well, we're not going to peel Spanish onions.
00:34Following my instructions, Sherman set away that machine for Cadiz Spain in the year 1833.
00:39Before you could say ole, we were sitting inside a huge arena.
00:42Here comes the matador, Mr. Peabody.
00:43And out strode a handsome fellow bedecked in traditional bullfighting garb.
00:48A roar went up from the vast throng as a gate at the far end of the arena swung open
00:51and out trotted a ferocious-looking bull.
00:55Dog.
00:57That's not a bull!
00:58We watched in utter dismay as the matador took a stick, threw it, and the bulldog retrieved it.
01:03This went on for an hour and a half, and then Sherman brought something to my attention.
01:07You're asleep, Mr. Peabody?
01:09Yes.
01:09So was the crowd in the arena.
01:11Leaving our seats, we quickly cornered the manager of the establishment.
01:14So, senor, you don't think fetching this stick should be Spain's national sport?
01:19I think bullfighting would be far more colorful.
01:21That's true, but there is only one bull in this neck of the woods and he won't come near this
01:26arena.
01:27Lend me the services of your bravest matador and we'll bring him back.
01:31Well, his bravest matador turned out to be one Porfirio Garbanzo.
01:34You leave it to me, senor, I will catch that bull.
01:37With a butterfly net?
01:38We left the net behind and should have done the same thing with Porfirio, for just on the outskirts of
01:43Cadiz...
01:43There's the bull, Mr. Peabody, standing in the road!
01:46Hmm, and one eye my dad, he has his dander up.
01:49Then I will let his dandruff down.
01:52Before I could stop him, Porfirio, or Poor-Firio, which I somehow prefer, approached the creature and told him off.
01:59Senor Bull, it is for you to come into the arena and make with the bull fight.
02:04Now, the bull was in a bad humor as it was, but when Porfirio chose that moment to pull out
02:08his red hanky...
02:11The bull sped off into the distance, we turned to Porfirio.
02:14There's some bull, Troy, eh?
02:15Now we've got an even longer way to bring him back.
02:18Forty miles from Cadiz, we spotted our quarry standing in a meadow.
02:21This time I get him for sure.
02:22Yes, but this time, keep the hanky in your trousers, please, and use subterfuge.
02:27Reason with him, pretend he's your best friend.
02:30Hello, bull. Where's the two pesos you owe me?
02:33Tell you what, you pay me the money and I buy you a pair of socks, just like these ones
02:37I got on.
02:38And of course, the socks he had on were red.
02:43Well, you scared him off again, Mr. Garbunza.
02:45Why don't we try catching the jackass?
02:48We already have one, senor.
02:50It took us three hours to catch up with the bull, and this time he was standing in the shade
02:53of a large tree.
02:54This time I take off the red socks and throw the red hanky away.
02:57We made him go even further.
02:59But I could catch cold.
03:00Just so long as you catch the bull.
03:02Buenos dias, bull.
03:03What's new?
03:04Say, how about a nice piece of fruit?
03:07Here, have an apple.
03:08You guessed it. The apple was red.
03:13As the sun sank over the hills, so did our bull.
03:16One week later, some 400 miles from Cadiz, we discovered the bull sitting on the railroad tracks.
03:21If he don't get off there, he's going to get hit by the onion specific.
03:25Sure enough, around the bend and bearing down hard came a fast freight train.
03:28Quick, Sherman Porfirio, hop aboard as the train passes.
03:31But what about the bull?
03:32As I had surmised, the cow catcher in front of the engine swept up the bull and carried him along.
03:37Well, well, you know, the bully is on his way back to Cadiz.
03:40Well, not for long he wasn't. We had the great misfortune to be stopped by a red light and...
03:43Well, there he goes, heading into the city of Seville.
03:47I told Sherman and Porfirio to go into Seville and wait for me while I stayed in the freight train
03:51and went back to Cadiz.
03:52There, in one of the larger gambling casinos...
03:5421 red again. You keep this up, you are going to break the bank.
03:58By applying calculus, Hector's arithmetic and PS39 multiplication, I had amassed a fortune in no time.
04:04One more win and you win the city of Cadiz.
04:07Which, of course, was exactly what I was after.
04:1021 red again.
04:11Why not 21 black?
04:14Well, it would simply ruin the color scheme of this whole story.
04:17Needless to say, 21 red came up and I owned the city.
04:21Well, Senor Peabody, now that you own my arena, what are you going to do with it?
04:25I'll give everything back to the city and your arena back to you if you move it to Seville.
04:30You got a deal.
04:31And thus, instead of the bull coming to the arena, the arena came to the bull.
04:34Spain, and Seville in particular, had its first bullfight.
04:38Oh my gosh, Mr. Peabody, look, that matador in the arena, it's a lady.
04:41Yes, her name is Barbara.
04:43Not only the first female bullfighter, but the best of them all.
04:47I never heard of her.
04:48You have never heard of the Barbara of Seville?
04:52No.
04:53...
04:53No.
04:55Right behind the wall.
04:57I was off from here.
05:01I was in I
