Oil-covered Kengah lands on Zorba's, the big, fat, black cat's balcony where she lays her egg and asks Zorba for the three promises. Kind, caring Zorba tries to lick the oil to help Kengah but realizes that Kengah's end is near and agrees to her wishes.

Answer: The rats had chewed away the corks of the best champagne in the house

Secretario is the resident Italian cat at Cuneo, an Italian restaurant in Hamburg port. Colonel is a resident of the restaurant's wine cellar, a connoisseur of wine and a lead authority among port cats because of his age and talents. Last but not least, is "il professore" Einstein, a wise cat who lives surrounded by books.

When Zorba arrives at the restaurant's cellar, Colonel is complaining about the rats eating away his corks. Einstein, in his library, is complaining about the rats eating away the entire island of Madagascar from his atlas, a major catastrophe!

Answer: All of these and a lot more

Harry's Port Bazaar is owned by Harry, an old sea dog who, during his days of roaming the Seven Seas, collected a museum of exotic whatchamacalits. He keeps two pets, Matthew, a beer-drinking chimpanzee who collects entrance fees and Einstein, a small, gray cat who rummages Harry's book collection.

Answer: In the Encyclopedia

Einstein is very attached to the Encyclopedia, his book of knowledge. So, he searches letters E for "egg" and F for "fly" and advices Zorba to hatch the egg on his big, fat, black stomach which he does for many days and nights.

Answer: Mommy!

"Mommy! I'm hungry!" are the chick's first words and Zorba tries to feed it an apple, a potato and some of his cat food, in vain. He realizes birds like insects and catches a few flies. When his friends arrive, congratulations go all around for the proud "mommy" Zorba.

Answer: Lucky

The four friends seek further help from a real oceangoing cat, SevenSeas. SevenSeas is the mascot of Hanes II, a barge on river Elbe. SevenSeas knows seagulls from his seafaring days and after carefully examining the chick he proclaims her "a pretty little girl gull". All five cats gather around the gull and perform the baptismal ritual of the port cats: "We salute you, Lucky, dear to all port cats".

Answer: Leonardo da Vinci

Lucky thinks she's a cat, like her "mommy", and, initially, she refuses to fly. One day, she sees a flock of passing seagulls and her little wings begin to flutter. Zorba realizes it's time to fulfill his third promise to Kengah and the whole gang helps in creating a "runway" for Lucky's flying lessons.

Answer: A poet

Zorba, after careful consideration, decides to use Angelina's human because he feels the human makes beautiful words, "words that can fly like wings". Touched by the big, fat, black cat's noble heart, the poet agrees to help Lucky fly.

Answer: St. Michael's bell tower

The human carries Lucky and Zorba to the bell tower of St. Michael's church, the tallest in Hamburg. Through his tears, Zorba cries a final "fly" as Lucky's feet tremble on the railing. Then she drops like a stone before she rises again, over the church, the Hamburg port and the big, fat, black cat.
