1
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:13,097
Jinying told the guards that Mandy was only trying to save the monkey.

2
00:00:13,098 --> 00:00:16,539
The monkey was still in Mandy's arms.

3
00:00:16,540 --> 00:00:20,803
"We will be on our way," Jinying said gently.

4
00:00:20,804 --> 00:00:24,805
She followed Jinying as he walked away.

5
00:00:24,806 --> 00:00:29,410
"What will happen to him?" Mandy asked.

6
00:00:29,411 --> 00:00:33,534
She looked back at the guards and the monkey owner.

7
00:00:33,535 --> 00:00:38,272
"Nothing. I explained his cruelty," replied Jinying.

8
00:00:38,273 --> 00:00:41,816
"The guards agreed he should give up the animal."

9
00:00:41,817 --> 00:00:46,079
"Thank you so much," Mandy said.

10
00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:49,009
The monkey looked happy.

11
00:00:49,010 --> 00:00:53,869
"I know a place where this monkey will be safe," said Jinying.

12
00:00:53,870 --> 00:00:56,808
"The Giant Wild Goose Pagoda."

13
00:00:56,809 --> 00:01:01,967
Mandy didn't know Vinnie was going to the same place.

14
00:01:01,968 --> 00:01:06,802
Teacher Hu told his student, Sheng, to take Vinnie there.

15
00:01:06,803 --> 00:01:12,808
"Why is this pagoda called the Giant Wild Goose?" asked Vinnie.

16
00:01:12,809 --> 00:01:18,483
"There were some monks who lived in that temple," began Sheng.

17
00:01:18,484 --> 00:01:21,274
"They had no meat to eat.

18
00:01:21,275 --> 00:01:26,485
They wanted meat so badly that they prayed every day to Buddha.

19
00:01:26,486 --> 00:01:31,281
Finally, one day, a group of geese flew above them.

20
00:01:31,282 --> 00:01:36,345
Suddenly, the biggest goose got tired and fell to earth.

21
00:01:36,346 --> 00:01:39,482
The monks believed Buddha was angry.

22
00:01:39,483 --> 00:01:44,220
Because of their greed for meat, an innocent animal died.

23
00:01:44,221 --> 00:01:47,950
So they decided never to eat meat again."

24
00:01:47,951 --> 00:01:50,868
"Wow," said Vinnie.

25
00:01:50,869 --> 00:01:53,680
They arrived at the pagoda.

26
00:01:53,681 --> 00:01:58,533
Vinnie counted five stories, just like in the photo.

27
00:01:58,534 --> 00:02:01,672
Then he heard a familiar voice.

28
00:02:01,673 --> 00:02:06,269
"Vinnie!" Mandy ran over to her brother.

29
00:02:06,270 --> 00:02:08,072
"What is that?"

30
00:02:08,073 --> 00:02:11,541
Vinnie pointed to the monkey on her shoulder.

31
00:02:11,542 --> 00:02:15,204
"Isn't he cute?" asked Mandy.

32
00:02:15,205 --> 00:02:17,472
Vinnie rolled his eyes.

33
00:02:17,473 --> 00:02:23,221
"Mandy," he said, "I think this is the right building."

34
00:02:23,222 --> 00:02:29,630
He took out the photo, and it was glowing blue.

35
00:02:29,631 --> 00:02:35,221
"But we're not standing in the right place," said Mandy.

36
00:02:35,222 --> 00:02:38,498
Jinying and Sheng were talking.

37
00:02:38,499 --> 00:02:44,230
"Who is that?" Vinnie and Mandy asked at the same time.

38
00:02:44,231 --> 00:02:49,743
They looked at each other and laughed.

39
00:02:49,744 --> 00:02:54,003
"Mandy?" Jinying walked over to her.

40
00:02:54,004 --> 00:02:57,295
"Sheng says the monkey will be safe here."

41
00:02:57,296 --> 00:03:04,667
"Good-bye, little friend," said Mandy, sadly.

42
00:03:04,668 --> 00:03:08,870
"I must return home now," Jinying said.

43
00:03:08,871 --> 00:03:13,956
"But before I leave, I will stop to touch the stone lions for luck."

44
00:03:13,957 --> 00:03:17,271
"Lions?" asked Mandy.

45
00:03:17,272 --> 00:03:22,273
"Long ago, nearby kings wanted permission to trade on the Silk Road.

46
00:03:22,274 --> 00:03:25,861
So they gave lions to our emperor as gifts.

47
00:03:25,862 --> 00:03:31,209
Our people had never seen lions before," explained Jinying.

48
00:03:31,210 --> 00:03:35,416
"Now we put two stone lions in front of important buildings.

49
00:03:35,417 --> 00:03:39,481
They protect the building and bring good luck and happiness."

50
00:03:39,482 --> 00:03:42,015
The children followed Jinying.

51
00:03:42,016 --> 00:03:47,066
"The picture is glowing brighter," Vinnie said excitedly.

52
00:03:47,067 --> 00:03:53,135
Jinying led them to the statues in front of the Giant Wild Goose Pagoda.

53
00:03:53,136 --> 00:03:58,756
One of the lions was a male, and the other was a female.

54
00:03:58,757 --> 00:04:02,806
They both were guarding the entrance to the pagoda.

55
00:04:02,807 --> 00:04:06,615
The picture glowed red.

56
00:04:06,616 --> 00:04:10,603
"Thank you, Jinying," Mandy called out.

57
00:04:10,604 --> 00:04:16,557
The children fell down the dark tunnel.

58
00:04:16,558 --> 00:04:23,818
Vinnie and Mandy opened their eyes, and two pairs of eyes stared back at them.

59
00:04:23,819 --> 00:04:28,679
The twins dropped their ice cream and began screaming.

60
00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:32,480
"Oh no!" gasped Mandy.

61
00:04:32,481 --> 00:04:39,118
"I think they saw us!"
