mercator Arabs

I did this movie for a Latin project earlier this year. It's out of a Latin textbook and all writing had to be in Latin and had to be directly from the book, so it may not make much sense. Also, the budget was a little small, so I had to stick to trial versions of movie-making software. Needless to say, it's really choppy. I don't have an English version of the story either, or I'd put it here.

The first lines say "Once upon a time a merchant was crossing Arabia with precious merchandise."

Basically a merchant is traveling through the desert when his caravan is attacked by a robber, who steals the slaves and all his goods, leaving the merchant unconscious. The merchant wakes up to see a huge monster flying down toward him, and he passes out again. When he wakes up, he is in the monster's nest. He sees many gems there and he takes some of them. Then he hides. When the monster comes back at night, he climbs on its back (that's a little hard to see). The next morning the monster flies away out over the sea. The merchant sees a ship and drops into the sea near the ship where he is rescued. The last lines say "It was luck that saved the merchant."

The music is the Nutty Cracker Suite from Throughly Modern Millie.
