Mr. Peabody was a dog, but he was also a scientist, an Olympic gold medalist, a chef, and possibly the worlds smartest individual. To teach his boy, Sherman, all about history, Mr. Peabody created a time-traveling machine called the WABAC (pronounced way back). On their latest adventure, they used the WABAC to travel back in time and attend a party given by Marie Antoinette, Queen of France! Introducing the most honored and honorable Mr. After a quick dance with the queen, Mr. After a quick dance with the queen, Mr.

Peabody introduced her to Sherman. Hi, Ms. Antoinette, said Sherman. May I have some cake? Delighted, Marie Antoinette replied, Let zem eat cake! Unfortunately, two starving peasants overheard the queen. They scurried off to tell the other peasants what they thought they had heard. When the queen heard that the poor of Paris could not even buy bread, she said, Let them eat cake! yelled one man, spreading the rumor.

Its a scandal! An outrage! added another. Down with the queen and the monarchy! the people roared as they raised their torches in protest. Vive la rvolution!Crash! When a brick flew through a window, Mr. Peabody knew it was time to leave. After bidding farewell to the queen, he found that Sherman had wandered off. Mr.

Peabody found Sherman munching on cake in the kitchen. Sherman, dont you remember why I told you to stay close to me during the French Revolution? Because after the French Revolution, its gonna rain? answered Sherman. Close. I said, After the French Revolution comes the Reign of Terror! replied Mr. Peabody just as a mob of angry peasants stormed in. Peabody. Mr. Mr.

Peabody was hauled off to the public square. The mob was shouting, Punish him! Things looked grim for Mr. Peabody as Sherman forced his way to the front of the crowd. Mr. Peabody, what should I do? yelled Sherman. Peabody. Peabody.

Everythings going to be fine. Just stay right there! Off with his head! ordered Robespierre, one of the leaders of the revolution. The blade of the guillotine dropped. Robespierre reached down for Mr. Peabodys headand was shocked to find a cantaloupe instead! Mr. Mr. Mr.

Peabody, howd you escape? asked Sherman as they ran through the sewer. Simple, really, replied Mr. Peabody. I noticed the sewer lid beneath the guillotine platform, noted the loose board under the basket, and swiped the executioners melon to give me the added weight to tip the board so I could make my exit. Suddenly, Robespierre appeared in front of them with his troops. Aha! Ive got you now! he cried.

All right, Sherman, looks like its time for a little pop quiz in the art of fencing, said Mr. Peabody, preparing to fight. Sherman cried out, Attack! Parry!Thrust! Remise! Robespierre was a talented swordsman, but he was no match for Mr. Peabody. Before long, Mr. Mr. Mr.

Peabody tossed his sword at the remaining troops. The sword missed everyone but pierced the pipe behind them.
