00:02The inhabitants of the archipelago
00:05had quite a range of ideas
00:07about who ultimately
00:08would come to save them.
00:10But even their gloomiest pessimists
00:12could never have imagined
00:14they'd be pinning all their hopes
00:16on a ridiculous old man.
00:21Undoubtedly, he was
00:22a spry old fellow
00:24for someone so clearly beyond
00:26his expiration date.
00:28But still, what could anyone
00:30honestly expect
00:31from a walking fossil?
00:34Maybe he'd pester everyone
00:36with endless questions
00:37or trace his finger
00:40across his maps
00:41which are no less ancient than he.
00:43But you'd have to be downright baps
00:46to think he'd actually defeat anyone
00:48with that funny little cane.
01:07of course, one can blindly hope
01:10that certain creatures
01:11might rather choose to withdraw
01:12if only out of immense respect
01:15for the age-old wisdom
01:16of the venerable
01:17reanimated museum exhibit.
01:21But most won't be surrendering
01:24without a fight.
01:32On the other hand,
01:34isn't that how every ancient geezer
01:37recounts the story of his life?
01:39Dramatic, fantastic,
01:41as if every trivial excursion
01:43were transformed
01:44into a series of trials
01:46and every new day
01:48brought inevitable pain?
01:51And were this life eternal,
01:54there would be no end
01:55to the suffering.
01:58It's true what they say.
02:01Some people get so old
02:03they simply forget to die.
02:09The End
02:11The End
02:17Grazie a tutti.
