1
00:00:07,534 --> 00:00:10,470
"Do you not recognize your king?"

2
00:00:10,471 --> 00:00:14,459
A man pushed his face close to Mandy.

3
00:00:14,460 --> 00:00:17,090
"This is King Louis XIV!

4
00:00:17,091 --> 00:00:19,936
He is the greatest king in the world!"

5
00:00:19,937 --> 00:00:23,879
"Louis who?" Vinnie whispered to Mandy.

6
00:00:23,880 --> 00:00:27,688
She pinched his arm to make him keep quiet.

7
00:00:27,689 --> 00:00:31,558
"That's enough, my Duke," the king said.

8
00:00:31,559 --> 00:00:34,619
"The children will go to their work now."

9
00:00:34,620 --> 00:00:39,967
King Louis waved his hand and walked away very slowly.

10
00:00:39,968 --> 00:00:46,607
His followers moved as slow as snails too.

11
00:00:46,608 --> 00:00:50,611
Vinnie giggled and pointed to their pointy shoes.

12
00:00:50,612 --> 00:00:54,807
"No wonder they can't walk fast," he said.

13
00:00:54,808 --> 00:00:58,555
"Shh!" said Mandy.

14
00:00:58,556 --> 00:01:01,952
The women wore long full skirts.

15
00:01:01,953 --> 00:01:06,837
The men wore wide lace neckties and long coats.

16
00:01:06,838 --> 00:01:12,629
Both the men and women wore big curly wigs.

17
00:01:12,630 --> 00:01:14,883
"Didn't you hear the king?

18
00:01:14,884 --> 00:01:19,061
Go to your work!" the gardener shouted again.

19
00:01:19,062 --> 00:01:23,231
His voice was back now that the king had moved on.

20
00:01:23,232 --> 00:01:28,687
"But, sir, we do not know where to go," said Mandy.

21
00:01:28,688 --> 00:01:33,367
"We . . . uh . . . we are new here."

22
00:01:33,368 --> 00:01:37,604
The old man sighed and pointed to the next building.

23
00:01:37,605 --> 00:01:41,077
"Go inside to the kitchen and ask for Mary!"

24
00:01:41,078 --> 00:01:43,485
The children thanked him.

25
00:01:43,486 --> 00:01:46,624
Vinnie and Mandy headed for the kitchen.

26
00:01:46,625 --> 00:01:51,729
But someone was watching them.

27
00:01:51,730 --> 00:01:53,571
"So we're in France.

28
00:01:53,572 --> 00:01:57,415
Then this place must be—," Mandy began.

29
00:01:57,416 --> 00:02:03,343
"Versailles!" A girl jumped out from behind some tomato plants.

30
00:02:03,344 --> 00:02:08,035
"Ahhh!" Vinnie and Mandy screamed.

31
00:02:08,036 --> 00:02:12,849
"Oh, I'm sorry!" the girl giggled.

32
00:02:12,850 --> 00:02:15,336
She was about Mandy's age.

33
00:02:15,337 --> 00:02:19,538
"I'm Helene." She pointed to the old man.

34
00:02:19,539 --> 00:02:21,122
"He is my father.

35
00:02:21,123 --> 00:02:25,675
He's the gardener of the king's kitchen garden."

36
00:02:25,676 --> 00:02:29,067
The children introduced themselves.

37
00:02:29,068 --> 00:02:32,880
"Do you work here at Versailles?" asked Vinnie.

38
00:02:32,881 --> 00:02:34,594
Helene nodded.

39
00:02:34,595 --> 00:02:37,281
"I was born here," she said.

40
00:02:37,282 --> 00:02:41,618
"My family lives here to serve the king."

41
00:02:41,619 --> 00:02:45,361
"What about school?" asked Mandy.

42
00:02:45,362 --> 00:02:47,785
Helene laughed loudly.

43
00:02:47,786 --> 00:02:50,779
"You're so funny, Mandy.

44
00:02:50,780 --> 00:02:53,479
I don't go to school.

45
00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:55,006
You are new here.

46
00:02:55,007 --> 00:02:57,149
Let me show you around."

47
00:02:57,150 --> 00:03:04,951
The children saw orange trees and more gardens along the way.

48
00:03:04,952 --> 00:03:08,814
"How many gardens are there?" asked Vinnie.

49
00:03:08,815 --> 00:03:11,611
He was already tired of walking.

50
00:03:11,612 --> 00:03:16,278
"Lots and lots," giggled Helene.

51
00:03:16,279 --> 00:03:23,812
"And we have over 1,300 fountains, 300 statues and vases, and . . ."

52
00:03:23,813 --> 00:03:27,440
"What?" Vinnie stared at her.

53
00:03:27,441 --> 00:03:31,276
"There are 1,300 fountains?"

54
00:03:31,277 --> 00:03:34,714
He was thinking of the fountain in the photo.

55
00:03:34,715 --> 00:03:40,558
"How will we ever find the right one to get us home?" he wondered to himself.

56
00:03:40,559 --> 00:03:44,138
Mandy was thinking of something else.

57
00:03:44,139 --> 00:03:49,602
"And all of this is for just one person?" she asked.

58
00:03:49,603 --> 00:03:52,473
"Yes, it's all for the king of France.

59
00:03:52,474 --> 00:03:54,603
He can have whatever he wants."

60
00:03:54,604 --> 00:03:57,004
Helene smiled again.

61
00:03:57,005 --> 00:04:00,816
"Where do your parents work at Versailles?"

62
00:04:00,817 --> 00:04:05,053
"Uh, well . . ." Vinnie thought quickly.

63
00:04:05,054 --> 00:04:09,745
He remembered that Dad went to buy something for the roof.

64
00:04:09,746 --> 00:04:13,148
"Our parents are working on the roof."

65
00:04:13,149 --> 00:04:16,361
Helene looked up at the top of the palace.

66
00:04:16,362 --> 00:04:18,346
She seemed puzzled.

67
00:04:18,347 --> 00:04:22,747
"Maybe we can look for them later," she said, shrugging.

68
00:04:22,748 --> 00:04:32,052
Vinnie and Mandy looked at each other and smiled.
