1
00:00:06,800 --> 00:00:13,062
The caravan entered Istanbul.

2
00:00:13,063 --> 00:00:15,243
The streets were crowded.

3
00:00:15,244 --> 00:00:20,794
Most men wore hats that were shaped like an upside-down flower pot.

4
00:00:20,795 --> 00:00:24,643
Each hat had a silk tail on top of it.

5
00:00:24,644 --> 00:00:30,376
Women wore long coats, and some covered their faces with a cloth.

6
00:00:30,377 --> 00:00:36,379
As the caravan passed by, people on the street called out to the travelers.

7
00:00:36,380 --> 00:00:39,417
"What goods have you brought this time?"

8
00:00:39,418 --> 00:00:42,684
"Do you have any Chinese silk?"

9
00:00:42,685 --> 00:00:47,821
"Come to the Grand Bazaar!" shouted someone from the caravan.

10
00:00:47,822 --> 00:00:51,072
"Then you can see what we have!"

11
00:00:51,073 --> 00:00:55,410
The caravan stopped in front of a beautiful building.

12
00:00:55,411 --> 00:01:00,814
Through the main doorway, Mandy could see stalls and shops.

13
00:01:00,815 --> 00:01:04,279
They were filled with colorful items.

14
00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:08,831
People from the caravan were unloading things to sell.

15
00:01:08,832 --> 00:01:14,275
"Wow! I'd like to shop here!" exclaimed Mandy.

16
00:01:14,276 --> 00:01:19,274
"What's that in your hand?" asked Vinnie.

17
00:01:19,275 --> 00:01:23,069
Mandy held up a pair of diamond earrings.

18
00:01:23,070 --> 00:01:29,478
"I forgot—Mom asked me to put these in her drawer!" she cried.

19
00:01:29,479 --> 00:01:33,826
"You'd better not lose them," warned Vinnie.

20
00:01:33,827 --> 00:01:37,485
"She'll be really upset."

21
00:01:37,486 --> 00:01:41,418
Mandy shrugged and put them in her pocket.

22
00:01:41,419 --> 00:01:44,739
"They're not real diamonds anyway."

23
00:01:44,740 --> 00:01:50,276
"How do we get off this animal?" said Vinnie, looking down.

24
00:01:50,277 --> 00:01:53,008
The camel stood quietly.

25
00:01:53,009 --> 00:01:57,090
"Maybe we can jump," suggested Mandy.

26
00:01:57,091 --> 00:02:03,267
"If you jump, you will break your leg or your neck," a man's voice said from below.

27
00:02:03,268 --> 00:02:07,561
Vinnie and Mandy saw a man staring at them.

28
00:02:07,562 --> 00:02:09,263
"How did you get up there?"

29
00:02:09,264 --> 00:02:12,499
the man asked, petting the camel.

30
00:02:12,500 --> 00:02:16,760
"Kiraz the camel was not carrying any people earlier."

31
00:02:16,761 --> 00:02:22,738
"Uh, well, we …" Vinnie tried to explain.

32
00:02:22,739 --> 00:02:27,843
The man spoke to the camel and Kiraz knelt down.

33
00:02:27,844 --> 00:02:30,934
The children climbed off his back.

34
00:02:30,935 --> 00:02:34,274
"Thank you, sir," said Mandy.

35
00:02:34,275 --> 00:02:37,408
"Who are you?" the man asked.

36
00:02:37,409 --> 00:02:40,541
The children introduced themselves.

37
00:02:40,542 --> 00:02:43,667
"I am Ali," said the man.

38
00:02:43,668 --> 00:02:46,801
"I sell carpets and other things."

39
00:02:46,802 --> 00:02:51,368
The camel opened his mouth and stuck out a gray tongue.

40
00:02:51,369 --> 00:02:56,603
"I think Kiraz likes you!" laughed Ali.

41
00:02:56,604 --> 00:03:02,347
Vinnie and Mandy helped Ali carry rolls of carpets into the building.

42
00:03:02,348 --> 00:03:07,270
"The Grand Bazaar is the biggest market in the world," Ali explained.

43
00:03:07,271 --> 00:03:11,266
"It is one of the best places to buy and sell."

44
00:03:11,267 --> 00:03:14,412
"It's amazing," Mandy remarked.

45
00:03:14,413 --> 00:03:17,349
"It looks like the mall!"

46
00:03:17,350 --> 00:03:22,135
Many shops lined each side of the long building.

47
00:03:22,136 --> 00:03:26,573
People strolled down the middle, looking and buying.

48
00:03:26,574 --> 00:03:29,944
Ali stopped in front of one shop.

49
00:03:29,945 --> 00:03:33,227
A woman and a boy were already there.

50
00:03:33,228 --> 00:03:38,287
They were setting out beautiful pieces of jewelry and dishes.

51
00:03:38,288 --> 00:03:41,477
"This is my family," Ali said.

52
00:03:41,478 --> 00:03:45,279
"As you see, we sell many things, including carpets!"

53
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:47,371
He turned to his son.

54
00:03:47,372 --> 00:03:50,272
"Berk, take this bag to the coffee shop.

55
00:03:50,273 --> 00:03:53,468
Ask Hasad the owner to exchange it for silver."

56
00:03:53,469 --> 00:03:55,747
The boy nodded.

57
00:03:55,748 --> 00:03:59,017
"Can we go too?" asked Vinnie.

58
00:03:59,018 --> 00:04:01,747
Berk looked at his father.

59
00:04:01,748 --> 00:04:06,900
"Sure! The coffee shop is always fun to visit," Ali said.

60
00:04:06,901 --> 00:04:13,570
"But don't stay too long."
