1
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:12,490
The children followed Julio out of the church and into the street.

2
00:00:12,491 --> 00:00:17,143
The streets of Palos were busy with people carrying goods.

3
00:00:17,144 --> 00:00:22,915
They were carrying supplies in their hands, in wagons, and on animals.

4
00:00:22,916 --> 00:00:28,260
Everyone was heading in the same direction: to the docks.

5
00:00:28,261 --> 00:00:32,247
Julio led the children in that direction as well.

6
00:00:32,248 --> 00:00:37,001
Mandy could smell the ocean before she saw it.

7
00:00:37,002 --> 00:00:40,871
"Mandy, look!" cried Vinnie.

8
00:00:40,872 --> 00:00:44,078
At the end of the street was the harbor.

9
00:00:44,079 --> 00:00:48,185
Vinnie pointed to three ships tied up at the pier.

10
00:00:48,186 --> 00:00:51,394
One was bigger than the other two.

11
00:00:51,395 --> 00:00:54,963
"The biggest one is—," began Julio.

12
00:00:54,964 --> 00:00:57,458
"The <font color="#ffff00"><i>Santa Maria</i></font>.

13
00:00:57,459 --> 00:01:02,260
And the others are the <font color="#ffff00"><i>Pinta</i></font> and <font color="#ffff00"><i>Niña</i></font>," said Vinnie.

14
00:01:02,261 --> 00:01:04,891
Julio looked impressed.

15
00:01:04,892 --> 00:01:09,816
"You'd better return that book to Columbus," Julio said to Mandy.

16
00:01:09,817 --> 00:01:12,327
"He won't sail without it."

17
00:01:12,328 --> 00:01:16,398
"Where can I find him?" asked Mandy.

18
00:01:16,399 --> 00:01:21,158
"Aboard the <font color="#ffff00"><i>Santa Maria</i></font>, of course," replied Julio.

19
00:01:21,159 --> 00:01:25,005
"Can you take us there?" said Mandy.

20
00:01:25,006 --> 00:01:30,370
"Sure, come on," Julio said, waving his hand.

21
00:01:30,371 --> 00:01:33,877
They walked down the street to the pier.

22
00:01:33,878 --> 00:01:36,519
The harbor was busy.

23
00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:41,221
Men were loading all kinds of equipment onto the ships.

24
00:01:41,222 --> 00:01:44,469
Seagulls circled above the waves.

25
00:01:44,470 --> 00:01:48,707
Along the way, they asked Julio more questions.

26
00:01:48,708 --> 00:01:54,253
"Why are the sailors afraid of sailing west?" Mandy asked.

27
00:01:54,254 --> 00:01:57,716
Julio took a breath.

28
00:01:57,717 --> 00:02:01,357
He was still nervous about the trip.

29
00:02:01,358 --> 00:02:05,093
"It is said that sea monsters live in those waters.

30
00:02:05,094 --> 00:02:11,447
Even if you somehow sail past them, well . . . ," Julio paused.

31
00:02:11,448 --> 00:02:14,376
"The ocean ends at some point.

32
00:02:14,377 --> 00:02:18,508
Then what happens?"

33
00:02:18,509 --> 00:02:22,622
"Oh, don't worry. The world is round.

34
00:02:22,623 --> 00:02:26,895
Your ship won't fall," laughed Vinnie.

35
00:02:26,896 --> 00:02:31,737
"How do you know what is out there?" Julio said angrily.

36
00:02:31,738 --> 00:02:36,059
"I bet you haven't been on an adventure in your life!"

37
00:02:36,060 --> 00:02:41,605
Vinnie and Mandy smiled at each other and thought of their photo trips.

38
00:02:41,606 --> 00:02:45,021
"Julio!" someone called.

39
00:02:45,022 --> 00:02:48,642
A middle-aged woman approached them.

40
00:02:48,643 --> 00:02:51,687
She was carrying a wool blanket.

41
00:02:51,688 --> 00:02:58,451
"Señora Molina! What a pleasant surprise!" Julio cried happily.

42
00:02:58,452 --> 00:03:01,819
He introduced the children to her.

43
00:03:01,820 --> 00:03:04,855
"Señora Molina owns a wool shop.

44
00:03:04,856 --> 00:03:09,587
Her wool is the softest and warmest in all of Spain."

45
00:03:09,588 --> 00:03:11,507
"Here, take this,"

46
00:03:11,508 --> 00:03:16,026
said Señora Molina, handing the blanket to Julio.

47
00:03:16,027 --> 00:03:19,338
"This will keep you warm on cold nights."

48
00:03:19,339 --> 00:03:23,464
"Thank you so much," Julio said.

49
00:03:23,465 --> 00:03:25,651
He hugged her.

50
00:03:25,652 --> 00:03:30,779
"Be careful, Julio," she whispered, wiping her eyes.

51
00:03:30,780 --> 00:03:37,621
Julio waved good-bye, then he and Mandy and Vinnie continued onto the pier.

52
00:03:37,622 --> 00:03:40,869
"One day I will make Spanish wool famous,"

53
00:03:40,870 --> 00:03:45,534
said Julio, holding the soft blanket close to him.

54
00:03:45,535 --> 00:03:48,356
"How?" asked Vinnie.

55
00:03:48,357 --> 00:03:56,071
"When I have my own ship, I will sell wool at every port on earth," Julio said proudly.

56
00:03:56,072 --> 00:04:01,963
"Maybe you'll become an explorer like Columbus," said Mandy.

57
00:04:01,964 --> 00:04:05,938
"Who wants to be like him?" replied Julio.

58
00:04:05,939 --> 00:04:09,825
"He's a dreamer with some crazy ideas."

59
00:04:09,826 --> 00:04:14,014
"But look at him now!" exclaimed Mandy.

60
00:04:14,015 --> 00:04:17,966
"Look at what?" Julio laughed.

61
00:04:17,967 --> 00:04:27,697
"He hasn't discovered anything yet!"
