﻿1
00:00:07,400 --> 00:00:13,453
Vinnie and Mandy ran down the road and happened to see a domed building.

2
00:00:13,454 --> 00:00:16,018
It had six towers.

3
00:00:16,019 --> 00:00:19,010
The guards were still chasing them.

4
00:00:19,011 --> 00:00:25,084
"Isn't that in the photo?" Mandy called, pointing.

5
00:00:25,085 --> 00:00:28,802
"Yes!" Vinnie said happily.

6
00:00:28,803 --> 00:00:31,148
The guards were very close.

7
00:00:31,149 --> 00:00:33,548
But the children weren't worried.

8
00:00:33,549 --> 00:00:37,490
"We're going home," thought Vinnie.

9
00:00:37,491 --> 00:00:39,585
They closed their eyes.

10
00:00:39,586 --> 00:00:42,003
But nothing happened.

11
00:00:42,004 --> 00:00:46,029
"What's wrong?" cried Mandy, scared.

12
00:00:46,030 --> 00:00:48,137
She looked around.

13
00:00:48,138 --> 00:00:52,742
People were walking toward them carrying small rugs.

14
00:00:52,743 --> 00:00:55,481
"We'd better hide."

15
00:00:55,482 --> 00:00:58,620
"Come with me!" cried Vinnie.

16
00:00:58,621 --> 00:01:03,902
He grabbed Mandy and joined the crowd walking through a large door.

17
00:01:03,903 --> 00:01:07,076
The guards ran up and looked around.

18
00:01:07,077 --> 00:01:10,876
"Where did they go?" one guard said.

19
00:01:10,877 --> 00:01:14,678
Vinnie and Mandy walked into a courtyard.

20
00:01:14,679 --> 00:01:18,135
Soon, they met a boy and a girl.

21
00:01:18,136 --> 00:01:21,706
"Where is your mother?" asked the girl.

22
00:01:21,707 --> 00:01:24,941
She had a scarf covering her head.

23
00:01:24,942 --> 00:01:28,549
"Where is your father?" asked the boy.

24
00:01:28,550 --> 00:01:31,679
"We're alone," said Vinnie.

25
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:34,739
"Then come," said the girl.

26
00:01:34,740 --> 00:01:39,703
"My name is Feyza and this is my brother, Nesim."

27
00:01:39,704 --> 00:01:43,137
Mandy and Vinnie introduced themselves.

28
00:01:43,138 --> 00:01:47,008
"Welcome to our mosque," said Feyza.

29
00:01:47,009 --> 00:01:52,541
She smiled and took Mandy's hand.

30
00:01:52,542 --> 00:01:55,944
"So it's a mosque, not a temple!"

31
00:01:55,945 --> 00:02:00,945
thought Vinnie, as Nesim led him to a different door.

32
00:02:00,946 --> 00:02:04,878
"Women and men pray separately," said Feyza.

33
00:02:04,879 --> 00:02:06,854
"Here is a scarf, Mandy.

34
00:02:06,855 --> 00:02:09,749
Girls must wear them in here."

35
00:02:09,750 --> 00:02:14,097
Mandy put the scarf on as they walked along.

36
00:02:14,098 --> 00:02:17,202
"Take off your shoes," said Feyza.

37
00:02:17,203 --> 00:02:20,005
"Shoes are not permitted in the mosque."

38
00:02:20,006 --> 00:02:23,466
The girls walked barefoot to a fountain.

39
00:02:23,467 --> 00:02:27,006
"Let's wash our feet," she said.

40
00:02:27,007 --> 00:02:30,933
"Muslims always wash before praying to Allah."

41
00:02:30,934 --> 00:02:34,334
"Is Allah the name you use for God?"

42
00:02:34,335 --> 00:02:38,539
asked Mandy, putting her feet in the water.

43
00:02:38,540 --> 00:02:43,827
"Yes. And we pray five times a day," said Feyza.

44
00:02:43,828 --> 00:02:48,536
The girls finished washing and walked upstairs to a balcony.

45
00:02:48,537 --> 00:02:50,247
"Don't be afraid.

46
00:02:50,248 --> 00:02:53,550
Just do what I do," said Feyza.

47
00:02:53,551 --> 00:02:57,896
Meanwhile, Vinnie watched Nesim closely.

48
00:02:57,897 --> 00:03:00,483
They were on the main floor.

49
00:03:00,484 --> 00:03:06,539
Vinnie and Nesim joined the men who were kneeling and bowing side by side.

50
00:03:06,540 --> 00:03:08,809
Then Nesim got up.

51
00:03:08,810 --> 00:03:12,218
"Noon prayers are over!" he said.

52
00:03:12,219 --> 00:03:14,354
The boys went outside.

53
00:03:14,355 --> 00:03:17,074
Mandy and Feyza were waiting.

54
00:03:17,075 --> 00:03:21,534
"Thank you for showing us your mosque," said Mandy.

55
00:03:21,535 --> 00:03:24,634
"You're welcome," said Feyza.

56
00:03:24,635 --> 00:03:26,476
"We have to go home now.

57
00:03:26,477 --> 00:03:32,207
I'm glad that we met you!"

58
00:03:32,208 --> 00:03:36,678
Mandy and Vinnie were now all alone in the street.

59
00:03:36,679 --> 00:03:40,745
"I felt so safe in there," said Vinnie.

60
00:03:40,746 --> 00:03:45,681
"Well, we're not safe out here," said Mandy.

61
00:03:45,682 --> 00:03:49,203
Vinnie took out the photo.

62
00:03:49,204 --> 00:03:51,483
"Why couldn't we return home?

63
00:03:51,484 --> 00:03:55,210
The building looks the same," said Vinnie.

64
00:03:55,211 --> 00:03:59,071
Mandy looked at the picture and looked up.

65
00:03:59,072 --> 00:04:02,204
This mosque had six towers.

66
00:04:02,205 --> 00:04:06,213
"It's the wrong place!" Mandy said.

67
00:04:06,214 --> 00:04:10,601
Suddenly a guard appeared and grabbed the children.

68
00:04:10,602 --> 00:04:17,921
"The sultan wants to see you!" he said.
