I'm going far.

Okay, I'm going to help you.

No.

Where do you come from?

Germany.

German? - Yeah.

Have you ever been here before?

No...

First time you come here?

First time, yes.

When do you go back?

I don't know.

You're here now.

You were sleeping.

Can we go now?

Let's go back, ok?

The elephant...

If he sees you...

... when you are near him...

he comes...

He is coming... - Yeah.

He is coming to kill you.

He brakes a big stick

like this one...

and hits you,

until you fall down.

Here is the house of the animals.

It's the house of all the animals,

the house of the buffalo

and the lion, too.

We are on their island.

The lion is here, the elephant is here.

They see you and say,

"The people are coming to kill me.

They are my enemy. I will go to them."

And they go to you and kill you.

Actor? - Actor.

You know what that is?

"Doctor" or "actor"?

Elephants...

An elephant goes like this...

You know, that's...

Like a hippo? - Yeah...

Yes, almost.
