﻿1
00:00:06,600 --> 00:00:12,406
Vinnie looked so worried that Helene ran over to him.

2
00:00:12,407 --> 00:00:15,758
"What's wrong?" she said.

3
00:00:15,759 --> 00:00:17,694
Vinnie explained.

4
00:00:17,695 --> 00:00:22,411
"I have to keep the soup away from the king," he cried.

5
00:00:22,412 --> 00:00:25,474
"I'll help," said Helene.

6
00:00:25,475 --> 00:00:29,729
They followed the servant carrying the tray of soup.

7
00:00:29,730 --> 00:00:34,494
In the palace, Mandy was still searching for Helene.

8
00:00:34,495 --> 00:00:37,605
She walked down another hallway.

9
00:00:37,606 --> 00:00:40,942
She heard noises.

10
00:00:40,943 --> 00:00:44,480
Quietly she opened the nearest door.

11
00:00:44,481 --> 00:00:47,688
The room was full of billiard tables.

12
00:00:47,689 --> 00:00:51,094
Men, including King Louis, were playing.

13
00:00:51,095 --> 00:00:55,010
"Oh, Your Majesty," one man laughed.

14
00:00:55,011 --> 00:00:56,759
"You win again!

15
00:00:56,760 --> 00:00:59,871
You are truly the champion of this game."

16
00:00:59,872 --> 00:01:02,068
King Louis smiled.

17
00:01:02,069 --> 00:01:05,277
Then he walked into the next room.

18
00:01:05,278 --> 00:01:08,875
Mandy followed, keeping out of sight.

19
00:01:08,876 --> 00:01:12,351
It was a dining room with a long table.

20
00:01:12,352 --> 00:01:15,600
Waiting servants held trays of food.

21
00:01:15,601 --> 00:01:17,644
"Bring me my soup!"

22
00:01:17,645 --> 00:01:20,406
said the king as he sat down.

23
00:01:20,407 --> 00:01:24,881
Mandy saw her brother and Helene right behind the servants.

24
00:01:24,882 --> 00:01:27,010
They looked scared.

25
00:01:27,011 --> 00:01:30,611
Mandy waved, but they didn't see her.

26
00:01:30,612 --> 00:01:38,486
"Ah, my favorite soup!" the king said.

27
00:01:38,487 --> 00:01:41,800
At that moment, Vinnie jumped out.

28
00:01:41,801 --> 00:01:44,680
"Don't eat that!" he yelled.

29
00:01:44,681 --> 00:01:49,758
Startled, the servant dropped the soup into the king's lap.

30
00:01:49,759 --> 00:01:51,750
"You idiot!"

31
00:01:51,751 --> 00:01:54,540
King Louis leaped from his seat.

32
00:01:54,541 --> 00:01:58,747
"Your Majesty, are you all right?" cried the servant.

33
00:01:58,748 --> 00:02:01,076
Everyone ran to the king.

34
00:02:01,077 --> 00:02:04,407
They tried to wipe off the spilled soup.

35
00:02:04,408 --> 00:02:09,080
"Vinnie! Helene!" Mandy shouted loudly.

36
00:02:09,081 --> 00:02:11,226
They ran to her.

37
00:02:11,227 --> 00:02:14,871
"We'd better get away!" Helene cried.

38
00:02:14,872 --> 00:02:19,206
"Oh, look at the royal clothing," said someone.

39
00:02:19,207 --> 00:02:22,957
"His coat is ruined," said another.

40
00:02:22,958 --> 00:02:26,942
"And his best hat," a servant whispered.

41
00:02:26,943 --> 00:02:28,875
"What a mess!"

42
00:02:28,876 --> 00:02:31,537
The king looked up and screamed:

43
00:02:31,538 --> 00:02:34,002
"That boy! Stop him!"

44
00:02:34,003 --> 00:02:36,363
Everyone looked around.

45
00:02:36,364 --> 00:02:40,048
In the confusion, the children had escaped.

46
00:02:40,049 --> 00:02:43,423
The children ran down a long hallway.

47
00:02:43,424 --> 00:02:46,522
"Over here!" cried Helene.

48
00:02:46,523 --> 00:02:50,003
They stopped to catch their breath in a corner.

49
00:02:50,004 --> 00:02:52,666
The guards were far behind.

50
00:02:52,667 --> 00:02:55,214
Vinnie pulled out the photo.

51
00:02:55,215 --> 00:02:59,935
"We have to get to a fountain with golden frogs," he said.

52
00:02:59,936 --> 00:03:04,335
"You must mean the Fountain of Latona," said Helene.

53
00:03:04,336 --> 00:03:06,445
"It has many frogs on it.

54
00:03:06,446 --> 00:03:09,629
It's behind the palace. I'll show you."

55
00:03:09,630 --> 00:03:13,751
The children followed her.

56
00:03:13,752 --> 00:03:16,334
Along the way Mandy asked:

57
00:03:16,335 --> 00:03:18,838
"Why did you stop King Louis?"

58
00:03:18,839 --> 00:03:20,959
Vinnie explained.

59
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:26,470
"Would the king really kill someone because of his soup?" asked Mandy.

60
00:03:26,471 --> 00:03:31,334
"Only if it was truly poisoned!" laughed Helene.

61
00:03:31,335 --> 00:03:37,494
"Look, Mandy! The frogs in the picture are glowing blue!" Vinnie shouted.

62
00:03:37,495 --> 00:03:40,272
"What?" asked Helene.

63
00:03:40,273 --> 00:03:44,468
"Nothing," said Mandy.

64
00:03:44,469 --> 00:03:46,005
"There it is!"

65
00:03:46,006 --> 00:03:49,479
Helene pointed ahead.

66
00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:53,075
"The fountain was inspired by an ancient Greek goddess.

67
00:03:53,076 --> 00:03:56,690
She turned people into frogs if they insulted her."

68
00:03:56,691 --> 00:04:01,274
"Wow, sounds cruel," gulped Vinnie.

69
00:04:01,275 --> 00:04:03,073
Helene giggled.

70
00:04:03,074 --> 00:04:08,708
"Some people think King Louis built it to send his people a message:

71
00:04:08,709 --> 00:04:11,070
obey your king!

72
00:04:11,071 --> 00:04:13,340
Anyway, I have to get back to work.

73
00:04:13,341 --> 00:04:14,781
See you later?"

74
00:04:14,782 --> 00:04:17,352
Mandy gave her a hug.

75
00:04:17,353 --> 00:04:22,213
"Well . . . good-bye," she said, then paused.

76
00:04:22,214 --> 00:04:24,799
"I am so glad I met you!"

77
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:27,561
Helene looked confused.

78
00:04:27,562 --> 00:04:32,221
When Vinnie and Mandy got to the fountain, they looked back.

79
00:04:32,222 --> 00:04:36,198
Helene was walking up the steps waving.

80
00:04:36,199 --> 00:04:41,641
The grand Palace of Versailles was as beautiful as ever.

81
00:04:41,642 --> 00:04:45,034
"The frogs are glowing red," said Vinnie.

82
00:04:45,035 --> 00:04:53,463
"We're going home."
