Beelzebub (b) was racing to arrive at the top of the Alps (卑) in front of the Eiffel Tower (ei1), but he slips on a banana peel (丿), tumbles all the way back to the foot of the mountain and has to wave his white flag (白) as another team sets up their cross (十) on the Alps. At the bottom of the Alps, Beelzebub feels extremely humble (卑) as he watches the huge mountains.
