00:23Hello again, Peabody here, and there is my boy Sherman, anxiously waiting beside the wayback machine.
00:28What fascinating date in history are we going back to today?
00:31The year 1519, where we will meet the famous navigator Ferdinand Magellan.
00:35Gee, swell. And the place?
00:37Spain, Sherman, to the seaport city of San Lucas.
00:39Got it, Mr. Peabody.
00:41Sherman and I entered the wayback and were immediately whisked back through time,
00:44where we soon found ourselves in the presence of Magellan himself, as he conferred with King Charles V of Spain.
00:51Let me get this straight. You want me to put up the money so you can be the first one
00:56to sail around the world?
00:58Si. Pitchy idea, no?
01:01No.
01:02But your highness, think what an expedition like this gonna mean to Spain.
01:07Si, but think of the money it would cost.
01:10Sheesh. It would take my allowance for a whole week.
01:14Besides, I don't think it can be done.
01:16But he can. See, I got all the charts and everything. I even have all the maps from the autoclump.
01:23I still don't think you can do it.
01:25I can't.
01:25Can't.
01:26I can't.
01:27Can't.
01:27He can.
01:28Hmm? Who are you?
01:30I'm his boy Sherman, and he is Mr. Peabody. Mr. Peabody knows everything, don't you, Mr. Peabody?
01:36That is correct, Sherman.
01:37Ask him. He'll tell you the Magellan can sail around the world.
01:40Can he?
01:41He not only can, he will, I assure you.
01:44There, you see? Now come on, sire. Be a good sport.
01:48All right. I will put up the pesos, but if you fail...
01:53Oh, don't worry. I gonna make it, or I tell you something. I gonna eat my sombrero.
01:59Si. With sombrero like that, it will be very fitting punishment. Now go. Prepare for the journey at once.
02:08Magellan, of course, was delighted. Five stout ships were fully supplied and completely outfitted,
02:13and he was ready to sail.
02:15At last, I am on my way.
02:18Adios, senor Peabody.
02:20Goodbye, Ferdinand. Smooth sailing.
02:22But as Magellan turned to leave...
02:24Not so fast. Where do you think you are going?
02:28Me. Me, I'm gonna sail around the world.
02:31Boy, what some hombres won't do to get out of paying a butcher bill.
02:36I beg your pardon? Did you say butcher bill?
02:39Si. He has owed me two dollars for a dozen weenies for over a month.
02:44Now, either he pays the bill or he goes to jail.
02:48I'm a man of honor. I gonna get a job and pay you this very afternoon, butcher.
02:53All right. I give you till four o'clock. Then you pay the bill or else.
03:00Realizing there was very little time, Magellan hurried into town where he applied for work.
03:04But nobody seemed to be hiring anybody that day.
03:08It's no use. It's almost four o'clock.
03:11Now I will have to go to jail instead of going around the world.
03:15Gosh, isn't there anything we can do to help Mr. Peabody?
03:18I've been working on it, Sherman, and I see the answer to the problem right over there.
03:23Bull fight today.
03:24Two dollar first prize to anyone who can stay in the ring with El Bruto for three minutes.
03:29Well, if you excuse me, I think I go over to the jail now and pick out a number. Adios.
03:35I assure you there's nothing to worry about, for I have a plan.
03:38We whisked Magellan into the bull ring, signed him up, and in a matter of minutes, he was ready to
03:42face the bull.
03:43Look! Here comes El Bruto!
03:45Good. And there goes Magellan.
03:47No, no, no, no, no, no.
03:49The bull charged at Magellan with thundering fury, but Magellan, as I knew he would, nimbly jumped aside, and the
03:54bull missed him by a wide margin.
03:55Again and again the bull charged, and Magellan kept jumping and hopping, so that never once did the bull touch
04:01him.
04:02Look at him wiggle and move. I had no idea Magellan could jump around like that.
04:07It's really quite easy when someone has poured ants into your trousers, as I did to him just before pushing
04:13him into the arena.
04:13Ants in his pants? Golly, no wonder!
04:17Thus Magellan easily eluded the bull for the required three minutes, won the two dollars, paid his weenie bill with
04:22the butcher, and at last was able to set sail.
04:24Well, there he goes. And that's how he became famous as the first explorer to sail around the world.
04:30Not only that, he also became famous as a great card player. You see, in order to pass the time
04:34on the long journey, he played poker with members of the crew, and one day made history by getting 265
04:42straight flushes in a row.
04:43Gosh, I never heard of that, Mr. Peabody.
04:46Well, of course you have, Sherman. Everybody's heard of the Straits of Magellan.
04:51Hmm?
04:52Hmm?
04:53Hmm?
04:56Hmm?
04:57Hmm?
04:58Hmm?
04:58Hmm?
04:59Hmm?
05:00Hmm?
05:00Hmm?
05:00Hmm?
05:01Hmm?
