The Work
The animals of the little circus are so bored that the circus master charters Papy Pêchou to take them by boat to their home continent ─ far-away Africa. It’s a new adventure for the salty old seadog who embarks elephant, lion, chimpanzee, giraffe and all ─ like a real Noah’s Ark. Life aboard is organized: The deck has to be well scrubbed and turns taken at steering the ship and painting the hull. Wondrous offshore encounters with leaping dolphins and flying fish amaze all aboard.
