Sometime
in
1413
,
sailors
from
____________________
arrived
at
the
court
of
King
of
____________________
,
India
,
with
a
host
of
____________________
.
Among
them
was
a
____________________
.
At
that
same
time
,
an
____________________
Chinese
admiral
heading
an
____________________
____________________
also
arrived
and
sent
____________________
to
the
Bengal
court
.
The
Chinese
____________________
witnessed
the
____________________
of
a
giraffe
which
the
____________________
Sultan
of
____________________
had
sent
,
and
became
____________________
by
it
.
Noticing
their
____________________
,
the
wily
King
of
Bengal
re

____________________
the
Chinese
with
the
____________________
the
Malindians
had
brought
,
and
with
it
started
a
____________________
.
____________________
He
(
also
known
as
Cheng
Ho
)
,
the
Chinese
admiral
,
made
the
Malindians
____________________
to
visit
the
court
of
the
____________________
Dynasty
,
and
if
it
wasn
?
t
too
much
of
a
____________________
,
to
bring
at
least
____________________
other
giraffe
.
Eager
to
____________________
with
the
rest
of
the
known
world
,
the
____________________
of
Malindi
sent
his
____________________
to
____________________
almost
as
soon
as
they
arrived
from
____________________
.
With
them
was
a
____________________
for
Emperor
____________________
Le
,
the
Ming
Dynasty
____________________
at
the
____________________
.
He
had
risen
to
____________________
after
a
suspicious
____________________
had
killed
his
elder
____________________
Jianwen
,
the
____________________
emperor
.
The
gift
of
a
giraffe
was
therefore
a
____________________
.
In
an
elaborate
public
____________________
in
1414
,
the
Malindi
envoys
presented
the
Emperor
with
his
____________________
giraffe
.
The
animal
was
____________________
and
even
,
to
some
level
,
____________________
.
The
renowned
____________________
Sheng
Du
was
____________________
to
do
a
____________________
of
the
giraffe
being
led
by
a
handler
,
and
a
____________________
was
written
and
____________________
about
the
____________________
animal
.
For
years
,
the
giraffes
from
Malindi
were
____________________
on
the
____________________
side
of
the
____________________
during
____________________
functions
.
Zheng
had
also
invited
other
____________________
from
the
city
states
of
the
____________________
of
Africa
and
the
East
African
____________________
.
Many
sent
their
envoys
to
the
Chinese
emperor
,
including
the
powerful
____________________
of
____________________
.
They
gave
the
Chinese
numerous
gifts
of
____________________
horn
,
elephant
____________________
,
____________________
shells
,
____________________
,
____________________
,
and
other
presents
.
The
Ming
court
sent
them
back
with
____________________
,
gold
,
____________________
,
____________________
,
and
other
gifts
.
But
that
was
after
two
years
.
For
those
____________________
years
,
the
envoys
from
Malindi
and
other
city
states
travelled
?
I
would
imagine
like
____________________
around
China
and
received
royal
____________________
;
saw
everything
there
was
to
see
in
China
.
Their
ships
were
then
____________________
with
gifts
for
their
kings
and
Sultans
and
they
joined
____________________
?
s
armada
for
an
____________________
____________________
back
home
.
Off
the
sea
near
Pate
Island
,
it
is
said
that
one
of
the
ships
in
Zheng
?
s
fleet
ran
____________________

Some
of
its
____________________
____________________
ashore
and
,
to
____________________
____________________
the
people
of
Pate
,
____________________
a
____________________
that
had

settled
and
