00:24Peabody here, and I'll be with you as soon as Sherman completes his geography lesson.
00:27One last question, Chairman. See this spot on the globe?
00:30That's China, Mr. Peabody.
00:32Correct. Now tell me, what is a China clipper?
00:35A barber.
00:36It would seem you need a little brushing up. Therefore, today's historical destination will be China.
00:41Oh, boy. While we're there, I can learn how to play chopsticks.
00:45Oh, you need a lot of brushing up, my boy.
00:47Wasting no further time, I set the way that machine for the year 214 B.C.
00:51and the place, the borderline of China proper and Mongolia.
00:54In less time than it takes to chop a bowl of suey, we found ourselves standing in the center of
00:59the bleak wastelands of Mongolia.
01:01What are we going to do here?
01:02We are going to witness the building of the Great Wall of China.
01:05Well, who's going to build it? I don't see anyone.
01:07True, there wasn't a soul in sight.
01:09However, five minutes later, the place was swarming with ferocious-looking Mongols, led by the legendary Fungus Khan.
01:16Now, hear this, you guys. We ravage Mongolia until there's nothing left to ravage.
01:22Now, we're going to extend same courtesy to China.
01:26Are so?
01:27Are so?
01:28With that, they spurred their horses toward the border.
01:31Is there anything we can do to stop them?
01:33There certainly is.
01:34Knowing Mongolia, like the back of my pa, we were able to take a shortcut and cross the border into
01:39China, well ahead of the oncoming horde.
01:41Look, Mr. Peabody, there's a house.
01:43It belonged to a wealthy merchant named Chop Sui Lui, who had made a fortune exporting chow mein.
01:48What is all this jazz about oncoming horde?
01:51It's true, Mr. Lui, the Mongols are going to ravage China.
01:54Well, live and let live. So long as they don't bother me, I don't care.
01:58Yes, but the route they're taking happens to come right through this house.
02:01I don't believe it.
02:05Now, do you believe it, Mr. Lui?
02:07That's the 10-15 for Moscow. It's running late as usual.
02:11Well, if it was, it left the conductor behind.
02:13You better take it on lamb, Buster. We coming through here every day. Adios.
02:19I guess you believe us now, huh, Mr. Lui?
02:22But Lui was no longer with us.
02:23A quick search of the building turned him up in the basement, packing enough fortune cookies to last at least
02:27a year.
02:28What are you doing, Mr. Lui?
02:29I'm getting out while getting is good.
02:31I can only surmise that Fungus Khan has intimidated you.
02:34No, but he got me plenty scared.
02:36Sure enough, his cue had turned snow white, which is a delightful fairy tale, I might add.
02:41Don't let him bluff you, Mr. Lui. Be firm. Stop him from coming through your house.
02:46That was all the incentive Lui needed.
02:47The following morning, after laboring at the borderline for five hours, he joined us over a steam bowl of bird's
02:52nest soup.
02:53That takes care of Fungus Khan.
02:55Gee, Mr. Peabody, I'll bet he built the Great Wall of China.
02:59Knowing that only I could construct the Great Wall in the short time of five hours, we went through the
03:03window and saw that my suspicions were correct.
03:05No trespassing. Will that stop them, Mr. Peabody?
03:09This question was quickly answered for at that very moment.
03:14Stand back. Lui gonna vamoose.
03:16He can't go, Mr. Peabody. Isn't he supposed to build the Great Wall?
03:20Great Wall? What is a Great Wall?
03:23It's the one thing that will keep the Mongols out of China.
03:25That's a good idea. I gonna build it.
03:28Being a man of considerable means, he hurried to the nearest rock shop.
03:31I want 1,200 million pieces of rocks.
03:34You want that to go?
03:35No, I gonna eat it here, smarty.
03:38His next stop was a cement shop directly across the street.
03:41Give me 44 million bag of cement.
03:43Oh, you want that, uh, gif-lopped?
03:46Dashing to the borderline, he threw himself into his work.
03:49At dawn the following day, Sherman and I ascended the hill overlooking the Mongol plains,
03:52and there, thundering their way toward the border, were Funkos Khan and his men.
03:59Marvelous horsemanship, Mr. Peabody.
04:01Yes, but when they see that wall, I suddenly recall that we hadn't seen the wall, and when we did...
04:06Oh, my gosh! He built it straight up into the air!
04:09Obviously, this would never stop the Mongols. All they had to do was ride around it.
04:12I had to act and act fast.
04:16Well, that's a pretty great wall, huh?
04:18Stand aside, Louis. There's no time to lose.
04:21A rapid analysis of the formation enabled me to locate the all-important keystone.
04:25Just as the Mongols poured over the hill, I deftly plucked the keystone out and...
04:31The structure toppled to earth, forming a great wall 1,500 miles long.
04:35As for the Mongols, they experienced their own version of a Wall Street crash.
04:42Well, it's all done, Mr. Peabody.
04:44But why is Chop Suey Louie planting acorns on top of it?
04:47Well, obviously, Sherman.
04:49He hopes someday to raise...
04:51walnuts.
04:52Alnut's...
04:53.
04:53.
04:53Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
