How were things going, Babar?
Too slow, I'm afraid.
Rome wasn't built in a day, you know.
Yeah, but they didn't have the monsoons to worry about.
All I'm asking is that you slow down, take a break and play with your friends. [After Celeste and Arthur come along] It will do you a world of good.
I'm sorry, Madame, but I've got no time to play. It's going to rain.
Well, I'll play around of Monkey in the Middle with you. I'm afraid Babar is much too busy with his city.
And I'm afraid, at this pace, it's not going to be much of a city after all. Not what it could have been, anyway.
[The scene fades to Madame, Celeste and Arthur playing Monkey in the Middle with the ball. Celeste and Arthur laugh, giggle and catch the ball which Celeste throws high]
I'll get it! [he runs and looks for a ball and finds it behind the bush, but gasps when he hears a snake]
Arthur, look out! [the snake bites her arm off screen] Ah! Oh!
Celeste! Celeste! [Celeste runs] Is she right, Celeste?
That was a poisonous snake, Arthur. Run and get help right away.
[Arthur runs and Celeste tearfully pants and pats her trunk on Madame before the screen fades into black]
