In the end, the man sold the elephant to Phileas Fogg for two thousand pounds.
'Elephant meat is expensive,' Passepartout thought.
Next, they had to find a guide. They didn't know the way to Allahabad. That was easier. A young Indian from the village saw them with the elephant.
'Do you want a guide?' he asked. He spoke English, too.
Every two hours, the guide stopped the elephant. It ate and drank some water. Phileas Fogg, Passepartout and the guide sat under a tree, out of the sun. Then they started again. They moved quickly, and climbed higher.
By 8 o'clock in the evening, they were over the Vindhia mountains. They were half-way to Allahabad. The guide stopped for the night.
