00:23Peabody here.
00:24You're just in time to join Sherman and me on another journey into history.
00:28What year shall I set the Wayback Machine for, Mr. Peabody?
00:321191, Sherman.
00:33And the place?
00:34The Holy Land, where we look in on the Crusades led by that indestructible English monarch,
00:38Richard the Lionhearted.
00:40The Wayback transported Sherman and me to our destination,
00:43but as luck would have it, we arrived in the midst of a battle royal between the Saracens and the
00:47English.
00:48However, it was a battle of short duration.
00:51Golly, Mr. Peabody, all of a sudden everybody stopped fighting.
00:54I beg your pardon, soldier, but has the enemy surrendered?
00:57Oh, no, it's merely tea time.
01:00We always stop for our afternoon tea.
01:04Taking advantage of the brief recess, Sherman and I proceeded to seek out King Richard.
01:08It wasn't until we came across a regal tent at the rear of the lines that we heard,
01:12You dare to attack the King of England, do you?
01:15Well, take that, and that!
01:17Sounds like King Richard's in trouble.
01:19We entered, but saw no signs of the enemy.
01:22Arm yourselves if you value your lives.
01:24But who are you fighting?
01:26Him.
01:27Good heavens, a mouse.
01:29Yes, I was halfway through my Roquefort when the monster attacked.
01:34Couldn't you scare him off?
01:36Me scare him?
01:38Surely your majesty is not afraid of mice.
01:40Mice, fish, canaries, people, buildings, trees, you name it, I'm afraid of it.
01:46But why do they call you Lionhearted?
01:48A misnomer.
01:50Actually, I'm chicken-hearted.
01:52I would imagine that the war is going badly.
01:55Oh, yes.
01:56So far I've lost two wedges of Roquefort, a slice of Limburger.
02:00Not your war, Your Highness.
02:01The war outside.
02:03Oh, that one.
02:04Yes, I wonder how it's going.
02:07We soon found out.
02:09Bad news, Your Grace!
02:11Out with it, man.
02:12Are we retreating?
02:14Worse than that, we've run out of tea.
02:17That is bad news.
02:19The situation called for an urgent meeting between Richard and his chiefs of staff.
02:24I say we should call the whole thing off.
02:27We're running low on crumpets.
02:30Gentlemen, I have a plan that would end the war in one hour.
02:34Wizard.
02:36Absolutely wizard.
02:37What is your plan?
02:39Who leads the Saracens?
02:41Saladin.
02:42Then you meet Saladin on the field of battle.
02:44Whoever wins, wins the war.
02:46How does that strike you?
02:49Unconscious.
02:50We adjourn to the practice area where I drilled Richard in the art of medieval warfare.
02:56This is a crossbow, sire.
02:58You merely pull the trigger and release the arrow in the direction of your opponent.
03:02You mean like this?
03:04Yes, like that.
03:05Of course your aim was bad.
03:07I see what you mean.
03:09Next, I instructed him in the handling of a mace.
03:11You mean you want me to smash that dummy with this?
03:15Exactly.
03:16Pretend it's Saladin.
03:17Oh, I can't do it.
03:19I'm much too much of a coward.
03:21You must force yourself, sire.
03:23Now swing, swing hard.
03:25And swing he did.
03:27Launching a most prodigious blow.
03:29Couldn't I challenge Saladin to a game of Parcheesi or something?
03:33No, you have to fight him.
03:35I guess you'll have to use this magic sword.
03:38Magic sword, Mr. Peabody?
03:40Yes.
03:40Don't you remember, Sherman?
03:42This piece of steel was fashioned by a dervish in Damascus.
03:46Whosoever wieldeth it possesses the courage of twenty lions.
03:50You mean if I fight Saladin with his sword, I can't lose?
03:54Precisely.
03:55Psst.
03:56Is it really a magic sword?
03:58Of course not, Sherman.
03:59But it may give him confidence.
04:01And so King Richard faced the fierce Saladin.
04:04And although Saladin was a master swordsman, when the smoke cleared...
04:11Yay!
04:13Long live the king!
04:15Later, inside Richard's tent, I disclosed the truth about the so-called magic sword.
04:21Ha ha ha ha!
04:22I don't believe it.
04:24It's true, Your Grace.
04:25Look at the inscription.
04:27Made in Japan.
04:28Not Damascus.
04:29Oh, that's wonderful.
04:32You mean your victory over Saladin?
04:33Oh, no.
04:35The fact that I can now look a goldfish in the eye without flinching.
04:39Thus, from that day forward, Richard lived up to the name Lionhearted.
04:43In fact, he never took a walk without at least two lions on a leash.
04:48Yes, Richard was Lionhearted, all right.
04:50Of course, he was no fool.
04:52There's no fool.
04:57There's no fool.
04:59있지s on where he kommunalize.
05:00You
