Your turn, Katara!
Where would you like to go on your mini vacation?
How about the Misty Palms Oasis?
That sounds refreshing. Oh, yeah, I've been there.
It's a pristine natural ice spring, and I usually don't use the word pristine.
It's one of nature's wonders.
Must have changed ownership since I was here.
That one.
One mango, please.
I don't see anything wrong with having one of those fruity beverages
while we plan our strategy.
Excuse me.
No worries.
I clean up easy.
Oh, you're a living relic. Thanks.
I try.
An air nomad right in front of me.
Professor Zei, head of anthropology at Ba Sing Se university.
Tell me which of the air temples do you hail from? The Southern temple.
Oh, splendid.
Now, tell me what was the primary agricultural product of your people?
Our fruit pie is an agricultural product.
Oh, truly fascinating.
That is one for the journal.
So, Professor, you're obviously a well-traveled guy.
Do you have a more current map?
Ah, seems to be a little dated.
Certainly.
What no Fire Nation?
Doesn't anybody have a good map of that place?
You've made a lot of trips into the desert all in vain, I'm afraid.
I've found lost civilizations all over the Earth kingdom.
But I haven't managed to find the crown jewel.
Wan Shi Tong’s Library!
You spent years walking through the desert to find some guy's library.
This library is more valuable than gold.
Little lady, it is said to contain a vast collection of knowledge.
And knowledge
is priceless. Hmm.
Sounds like good times.
Oh, it is.
According to legend, it was built by the great knowledge spirit
Wan Shi Tong, with the help of his foxy knowledge seekers.
Oh, so this ear.
It has attractive assistants, huh?
I think he means they look like actual foxes.
Sokka. You're both right.
Handsome little creatures.
Wan Shi Tong and his knowledge seekers collected books from all over the world
and put them on display for mankind to read so that we might better ourselves.
If this place has books from all over the world,
do you think they've got info on the Fire Nation?
A map, maybe.
I wouldn't know.
But if such a thing exists, it's in Wan Shi Tong’s
Library.
Then it's settled.
Aang, I do believe it's my turn.
I'd like to spend my vacation at the library.
Hey, what about me?
When do I get to pick?
You got to wait here a little longer before you qualify for vacation time.
Of course. There's the matter of finding it.
I've made several trips into the sea long desert and almost died each time.
I'm afraid that desert's impossible to cross.
Professor.
Would you like to see our sky? Bison?
A sky Bison.
You actually have one
SHOO!
Away from the bison.
Tell me, Sky. Bison.
Are you the last of your breed?
Delightful.
I only wish I spoke his tongue.
Oh, the stories this beast could tell.
Shush, Chatty monkey.
Wow. Shouldn't be too hard to find a place like this out here.
Ugh, does this place even exist?
Some say it doesn't.
Shouldn't you have mentioned that before?
There it is!
That's what it will sound like
when one of you spots it.
It shouldn't be this hard to spot
a giant, ornate building from the air
down there.
What's that?
Forget it.
It's obviously not what we're looking for.
The building in this drawing is enormous.
What kind of animal is that?
I think that was one of the knowledge seekers.
Oh, we must be close to the library.
No, this is the library.
Look, it's completely
buried. Uh.
