After the long journey Agba and horses were arrived at the Versailes. Soon after they arrived they went to the royal stable to give the horse to the king of the France. But at there Agba has to wait for long time because the adviser of the king wasn't there. The adviser Monsieur Le Duc was in the salon taking care of his wig. He doesn't care who ever arrived at France until he noticed that those horseboys are King Saltan's servant. Duc runback to the palace and said to youg king to meet horseboys.
When Agba saw a King Louis XV he was surprised because the king was about sama age as Agba. Agba felt impresive with the King and he tried to show respect to the King but he laughed at him. Because he thought that the King's clothes is looks like a turtle's shell.



From this chapter I learned that Agba likes to compare the King with the other Kind of animal. When He first time met King Saltan the King of Morocco he thought that Saltin looks like a sheep because he has a think bear which looks like a Sheep's wool. And this time he said that the King Louis is like a turtle because he wear a thick grean clothes. I think he has really good imagination. I can't compere people with animal.

At the fron of the city gate Salten gave a bag to Agba and he told Agba to protect a bag. The bag is a great power amulet it will prevent and cure the bite from scorpion and protect the stallion from evil spirit. Then Saltan went back to the palace and Agba's journey started. they run throgh the rain water, blessed of Allah. Run through the hills of Atlas mountains. Run through green valleys and regions of plains. Finally they arrivaled at port Tangier.



At first I'd like to say that I was so disaapointed with this book. I thought that there would be a adventure in Agba's journey but actually author just wrote journey part for 2pages. It has only short discription of what happened during Agba's journey. I was so disappointed with it.

How ever the word "Amulet" reminds me of Japanese talisman. In japan there is many kinds of talis man sell in temple. And if we keep put on it, it will give us a fortune, lackness, intelligence etc. I'm not sure if there is a talisman in US or not but if there is one I'd like to know about it.

A day of the journeyt came, Agba and other horse boys went to the palace to see Saltan. In front of there was a thousands of the soldiers making a line and on the of the head of the line there is a Saltan a King of the Alabs road on the horse. Saltan led the hors boys and their horses join in the line then they started a march to the port. All of the people in they city bowed when Saltan and his soldiers go through the city. Agba thought that people didn't bow to show rispect to their King they bowed to protect them selves. They knew that people who didn't bow to King Salton would be killed by his brutal soldiers.




This chapter makes me think about leader ship. Thai King and King Saltan have completely different relationship between their nation. King Saltan ruled the country with millitary power.So people in his country afraid of him and all the people try to not concern with him. In Thai land King doesn't have power to control everything in the country but he still able to make big effect in the country by his word. I think thta's because he has a good relationship with his nation. When he was young he went around his country to help poor people and try to make better country. That's why every people in his country loves him and show great respect to him. So that he could make an effect to the country even though there is a laws and government.
To be a good leader the thing you need is not power. Reliance from the team member or nations is the thing you need. That's what I think about leadership

After Agba went back to the stall Signor Achmet told him to measure the horse's kneck to find out the best stallion in the stall. Agba measured each horse with happy smile because he already knew that Sham his horse will be the best one. And His thought was right Sham was the one which has the longest kneck . So Signor chose Sham to go to the France with Agba.
Agba counldn't slept that night because his mind was full of excitement about going to the France with Sham. he kept jumping down from his hammock and walking around his room.



I have a similar experience with Agba. When I was in elementary school there was the night I coldn't slpet for whole night. that was the night before Weak with out wall. My mind was full of excitement like as Agba so I never felt sleepy that night. I kept wakeing up until morning and go to the Weak with out wall with tired and sleepy body. Then I got shick in the first night of Weak with out wall so I couldn't go out for 2nd day! That day teach me the importance of sleeping.
