00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:14,409
When Vinnie and Mandy finished the Iroquois trip, Dad had opened the attic door suddenly.

2
00:00:14,410 --> 00:00:18,008
Then he slipped and twisted his ankle.

3
00:00:18,009 --> 00:00:22,762
"Oh, that hurts!" Dad said in pain.

4
00:00:22,763 --> 00:00:26,670
He was sitting in his favorite chair in the living room.

5
00:00:26,671 --> 00:00:30,556
Mom held a bag of ice on his swollen foot.

6
00:00:30,557 --> 00:00:36,551
"I was going to clean up the attic, but I can't now," Dad said.

7
00:00:36,552 --> 00:00:38,971
"Can you kids do it?"

8
00:00:38,972 --> 00:00:43,150
Vinnie and Mandy clapped their hands excitedly.

9
00:00:43,151 --> 00:00:49,638
"Sure, we'll take care of it," said Vinnie cheerfully.

10
00:00:49,639 --> 00:00:52,034
"What's so special about that attic?"

11
00:00:52,035 --> 00:00:55,345
Dad asked Mom as the kids ran off.

12
00:00:55,346 --> 00:00:59,554
The children raced up the attic stairs.

13
00:00:59,555 --> 00:01:03,742
Mandy grabbed the photo album.

14
00:01:03,743 --> 00:01:08,014
"Let's guess where we're going next," she said.

15
00:01:08,015 --> 00:01:13,670
"Okay, I'm going to guess Africa!" said Vinnie.

16
00:01:13,671 --> 00:01:16,708
"I think it's going to be China!"

17
00:01:16,709 --> 00:01:20,684
said Mandy, opening the photo album.

18
00:01:20,685 --> 00:01:23,001
They were both wrong.

19
00:01:23,002 --> 00:01:28,779
In the photo, the old man was standing in front of a large tower.

20
00:01:28,780 --> 00:01:33,087
There were big black birds flying around his head.

21
00:01:33,088 --> 00:01:37,064
A group of men with spears were marching together.

22
00:01:37,065 --> 00:01:42,076
The spears were glowing.

23
00:01:42,077 --> 00:01:46,880
"Where is this?" asked Vinnie.

24
00:01:46,881 --> 00:01:50,808
"It looks like . . ." began Mandy.

25
00:01:50,809 --> 00:01:54,274
The light forced them to close their eyes.

26
00:01:54,275 --> 00:02:01,884
The children fell down the dark tunnel.

27
00:02:01,885 --> 00:02:03,860
Mandy landed first.

28
00:02:03,861 --> 00:02:05,669
She opened her eyes.

29
00:02:05,670 --> 00:02:10,756
Two horses pulling a wagon were coming straight at her.

30
00:02:10,757 --> 00:02:16,426
Screaming, Mandy jumped out of the way.

31
00:02:16,427 --> 00:02:21,754
Then she tripped, fell, and scraped her knee badly.

32
00:02:21,755 --> 00:02:27,569
"Whoa!" The driver of the wagon stopped the horses.

33
00:02:27,570 --> 00:02:29,815
"Where did you come from, miss?

34
00:02:29,816 --> 00:02:32,878
I didn't see anyone walking in the street."

35
00:02:32,879 --> 00:02:35,867
The driver scratched his head.

36
00:02:35,868 --> 00:02:41,880
"I . . . I'm terribly sorry, sir," Mandy stammered.

37
00:02:41,881 --> 00:02:44,137
Her legs felt shaky.

38
00:02:44,138 --> 00:02:47,493
"Where am I?" she wondered.

39
00:02:47,494 --> 00:02:51,014
"And where is Vinnie?"

40
00:02:51,015 --> 00:02:54,167
Vinnie landed on the same street.

41
00:02:54,168 --> 00:02:56,671
A carriage came toward him.

42
00:02:56,672 --> 00:02:59,271
Vinnie quickly stepped aside.

43
00:02:59,272 --> 00:03:02,887
Looking around, he did not see Mandy.

44
00:03:02,888 --> 00:03:08,352
She was hidden by all the wagons and horses in the street.

45
00:03:08,353 --> 00:03:13,150
"To be or not to be!" cried a voice.

46
00:03:13,151 --> 00:03:16,802
Vinnie saw a boy behind some barrels.

47
00:03:16,803 --> 00:03:19,874
He was reading from a piece of paper.

48
00:03:19,875 --> 00:03:22,617
The boy did not see Vinnie.

49
00:03:22,618 --> 00:03:27,161
"That is the question!" continued the boy.

50
00:03:27,162 --> 00:03:32,134
"Ahem," said Vinnie, clearing his throat.

51
00:03:32,135 --> 00:03:35,216
"Hey, stop spying on me!"

52
00:03:35,217 --> 00:03:38,080
said the boy, hiding the paper.

53
00:03:38,081 --> 00:03:40,347
"Who are you?"

54
00:03:40,348 --> 00:03:42,261
"My name is Vinnie.

55
00:03:42,262 --> 00:03:45,811
Who are you, and what are you reading?"

56
00:03:45,812 --> 00:03:47,966
"My name is Edward,"

57
00:03:47,967 --> 00:03:51,200
said the boy, bowing dramatically.

58
00:03:51,201 --> 00:03:55,072
"I am reading a play by Shakespeare!"

59
00:03:55,073 --> 00:03:58,491
The name sounded familiar to Vinnie.

60
00:03:58,492 --> 00:04:04,204
"Someday, I will be England's greatest actor!" shouted Edward.

61
00:04:04,205 --> 00:04:10,926
"Someday, I will perform before the queen!"
