1
00:00:06,800 --> 00:00:13,608
Vinnie was so scared he couldn't move.

2
00:00:13,609 --> 00:00:18,152
Suddenly he felt a strong wind by his ear.

3
00:00:18,153 --> 00:00:21,002
An arrow flew by.

4
00:00:21,003 --> 00:00:26,898
One of the hyenas let out a cry, and the animals ran away.

5
00:00:26,899 --> 00:00:31,082
"Vinnie!" Mandy ran to her brother.

6
00:00:31,083 --> 00:00:35,634
"I'm okay," said Vinnie. "But who . . . ?"

7
00:00:35,635 --> 00:00:40,522
He stopped and stared at a young man holding a bow and arrow.

8
00:00:40,523 --> 00:00:44,954
He also wore an animal skin tied at his waist.

9
00:00:44,955 --> 00:00:49,465
He had six scars on his chest on his right side.

10
00:00:49,466 --> 00:00:53,050
The man stared at the children for a long time.

11
00:00:53,051 --> 00:00:56,894
Then he said, "Where do you come from?"

12
00:00:56,895 --> 00:01:01,545
"Our home is far away," replied Mandy.

13
00:01:01,546 --> 00:01:04,603
"We're on a journey."

14
00:01:04,604 --> 00:01:07,647
The man stared a bit longer.

15
00:01:07,648 --> 00:01:09,879
He seemed curious.

16
00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:13,830
"How long will your journey be?" he asked.

17
00:01:13,831 --> 00:01:17,272
Vinnie and Mandy looked at each other.

18
00:01:17,273 --> 00:01:21,610
"We don't know," they answered.

19
00:01:21,611 --> 00:01:24,433
The man motioned to them.

20
00:01:24,434 --> 00:01:28,150
"Let us go to the village," he said.

21
00:01:28,151 --> 00:01:29,883
"You will be safe there."

22
00:01:29,884 --> 00:01:31,603
He walked away.

23
00:01:31,604 --> 00:01:34,541
Mandy looked at her brother.

24
00:01:34,542 --> 00:01:39,017
"What do we do?" she said.

25
00:01:39,018 --> 00:01:42,628
"Let's follow him," replied Vinnie.

26
00:01:42,629 --> 00:01:44,885
"I don't think he'll hurt us.

27
00:01:44,886 --> 00:01:49,443
After all, he saved me from those scary wolves."

28
00:01:49,444 --> 00:01:53,415
"They were hyenas," said Mandy.

29
00:01:53,416 --> 00:01:56,866
The children ran after the man.

30
00:01:56,867 --> 00:02:01,015
"Excuse me," said Vinnie, "where are we?"

31
00:02:01,016 --> 00:02:07,262
"This is the Kalahari Desert, home of my people," he replied.

32
00:02:07,263 --> 00:02:11,554
"Who are your people?" asked Mandy.

33
00:02:11,555 --> 00:02:14,814
"We are the Ju/'hoansi," he said.

34
00:02:14,815 --> 00:02:18,207
"I am Kashe. What are your names?"

35
00:02:18,208 --> 00:02:21,937
The children introduced themselves.

36
00:02:21,938 --> 00:02:25,693
Kashe stopped in front of an open area.

37
00:02:25,694 --> 00:02:27,823
"Welcome to our village,"

38
00:02:27,824 --> 00:02:31,412
he said, pointing to ten small huts.

39
00:02:31,413 --> 00:02:35,147
The huts were made out of sticks and grass.

40
00:02:35,148 --> 00:02:39,851
"Kashe!" a woman called out.

41
00:02:39,852 --> 00:02:44,216
"You went hunting for food, but you bring us children."

42
00:02:44,217 --> 00:02:48,145
The villagers all stopped what they were doing.

43
00:02:48,146 --> 00:02:50,904
They surrounded the children.

44
00:02:50,905 --> 00:02:54,238
The men were dressed like Kashe.

45
00:02:54,239 --> 00:02:57,922
The women also wore animal skins.

46
00:02:57,923 --> 00:03:01,707
Most of them had jewelry around their necks.

47
00:03:01,708 --> 00:03:05,942
Some wore brightly colored bands around their heads.

48
00:03:05,943 --> 00:03:09,734
Kashe introduced the children to everyone.

49
00:03:09,735 --> 00:03:13,014
Then the crowd wandered away.

50
00:03:13,015 --> 00:03:16,604
But one curious young girl remained.

51
00:03:16,605 --> 00:03:20,086
"Twi!" a woman called to the girl.

52
00:03:20,087 --> 00:03:23,070
"We have work to do."

53
00:03:23,071 --> 00:03:26,486
"Yes, Mama," Twi called back.

54
00:03:26,487 --> 00:03:29,087
Then she turned to Mandy.

55
00:03:29,088 --> 00:03:32,678
"Will you come with us?" she asked.

56
00:03:32,679 --> 00:03:36,335
"Where?" said Mandy.

57
00:03:36,336 --> 00:03:40,818
"To gather mongongo nuts," said Twi.

58
00:03:40,819 --> 00:03:44,137
She looked up at the bright sun.

59
00:03:44,138 --> 00:03:47,013
"We should have left a while ago.

60
00:03:47,014 --> 00:03:49,674
I can tell it will be hot today."

61
00:03:49,675 --> 00:03:53,737
"But it's hot already!" cried Mandy.

62
00:03:53,738 --> 00:03:57,666
Twi laughed. "This is not hot.

63
00:03:57,667 --> 00:04:00,888
It is still early in the day."

64
00:04:00,889 --> 00:04:04,078
Mandy wiped her forehead.

65
00:04:04,079 --> 00:04:08,441
"It's going to get hotter?" she thought.

66
00:04:08,442 --> 00:04:12,272
"Come with me, Vinnie," Kashe said.

67
00:04:12,273 --> 00:04:15,538
"Where are we going?" asked Vinnie.

68
00:04:15,539 --> 00:04:18,798
Kashe gave Vinnie a bow.

69
00:04:18,799 --> 00:04:22,142
"We must return to the hunt," he replied.

70
00:04:22,143 --> 00:04:29,900
"Cool!" yelled Vinnie.
