So on they went together. Very soon they saw a monkey lying by the road, gasping as if in pain. Peach Darling stopped to see what was the matter and heard him saying: "Oh, if I only had a bite of something, l should not die." So Peach Darling took another dumpling from his pouch and gave it to the monkey. After eating it the monkey was so much better that he said: ''Since you have saved my life I will go with you, for I may be able to help you sometime." As they were going, a peasant hovered near them. Fearing that something might be wrong with her or her young ones, Peach Darling stopped and asked her what troubled her. In bird language she said: ''Oh sir, my young ones are starving. I do not know what to do!

" They hurried to the edge of the lake and saw the centipede already very near. Question: Which gulf is also called Golfo de la Ballena? ----------------- Ku Smile team: correct, team wins 1000 points + gift card Door 04 - The Old Man with a Wart It sounded like the wind whipping the tree-tops back and forth, or the breezes bowing the long grasses in lines before it. It was like great waves, trampling and tumbling upon the shore, or the pounding of tiny raindrops, hammering upon the dry leaves. The old man could not sit still. He sprang into the midst of the group and began to dance. The air was sweet. The grass gave a faint fresh odor. He seemed to be dancing like the trees and flowers. Like a willow by the river he bent and swayed and bowed. The song grew softer and sweeter until the trees were still and the sun peeped through the clouds. At last the old man sat down to rest. Question: Which is the largest ocean in the world? ----------------- Cotton Bunnies team: correct, team wins 1000 points Door 06 - The Bamboo Princess So each of the five wrote to the father of the princess asking to marry her. It so happened that all five letters were brought to the old man at the same time. The old man did not know which one to choose, nor what to do.

The old bamboo-cutter went home very cheerful, but the princess was sadder than ever. The old moon faded away. A few nights showed only the blue of the heavens and the gold of the stars. Then a tiny silver thread showed just after sunset. Each night it widened and brightened. Each day the princess grew sadder and sadder. Question: In what country is the smallest mountain in the world located? ----------------- Purple Pony Tail Team team: correct, team wins 1000 points + gift card Door 09 - The Branch of the Jewel Tree "At last, just when I thought we would surely die, I saw a great mountain lifting its dark head out of the morning sea. We hastened to it. It was the floating mountain of Horai. "We sailed around it several times before I could find a place to land. At last I saw a small cove and anchored there. When I went on shore there stood a most beautiful girl with a basket of food. She set down the basket and immediately disappeared. "I was nearly starving, but I did not touch the food until I had broken off a branch from one of the jeweled golden trees, to bring home to you. Then I returned to my ship.

They all stared at him in wonder. Some nearly laughed in his face. The idea of it! That he, one of the greatest lords in the country, should ask them, common beggars, for a fire robe. One after another told him that they had heard of it, but it was only a story, for there was really no such thing. Finally all had gone but one old man. He limped slowly up to the lord and knelt before him. Question:: Which is the largest gulf in the world? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Take them this dumpling, and if ever again you are hungry, come to me. I will not let you starve." When they were down to the seashore, they climbed into a boat and started off for the island of Akandoji. Just as they were starting there was a flutter of wings and the pheasant alighted in the boat with them. "Dear Peach Darling," she said, "If you are going to face dangers, I will go, too, for perhaps I may be able to help you." After a long row they reached the monster's island, and climbed the steep hill to the gate of the castle. Here they found the monkey of great use, since he always has four hands and four feet as well as a long, strong rope fastened to his body. When they reached the great gate of the castle, they all four began to make the greatest noise possible. The man shouted, the dog barked, the pheasant screamed, and the monkey chattered, while they all beat on the door with stones.

Hundreds of men were placed on the roof of the house. Surely no one could enter through such a guard. The first night of the full moon came. The princess waited on her balcony for the moon to rise. Slowly over the tops of the trees on the mountain rose the great silver ball. Every sound was hushed. The princess went to her father. He lay as if asleep. When she came near he opened his eyes. "I see now why you must go," he said. "It is because I am going, too. Thank you, my daughter, for all the happiness you have brought to us." Then he closed his eyes and she saw that he was dead.

Tears stood in the eyes of the princess to think of how he had suffered to bring her that jewel branch. Just then three men came asking for the prince. "Could you pay us know?" they asked. The prince started to drive them away, but the princess told them to stay. Question: Where is Istanbul located?

It was kept in a temple upon the top of a certain mountain, hundreds of miles from here." The lord was delighted at this, but wondered why his messengers had not found this temple. He sent for the one who had visited the temples in that part of the country. This man declared that there was no temple on that mountain. "There was in my grandfather's time," said the beggar, "for he had been there and had seen the beautiful fire robe with his own eyes." The lord sent messengers to search out this mountain and find the temple at its top. The old beggar went with them. Question:: How many years did the Spanish Civil War last?
