1
00:00:07,600 --> 00:00:10,424
Summer was almost over.

2
00:00:10,425 --> 00:00:14,965
Soon, Vinnie and Mandy would be starting school.

3
00:00:14,966 --> 00:00:18,752
Right now, they were folding laundry.

4
00:00:18,753 --> 00:00:24,200
"Dad has almost finished moving into the attic," said Vinnie.

5
00:00:24,201 --> 00:00:28,530
"We don't have a lot of time left for photo trips!"

6
00:00:28,531 --> 00:00:35,423
"And when school starts, we won't have any time at all," Mandy sighed.

7
00:00:35,424 --> 00:00:38,594
The children looked at each other.

8
00:00:38,595 --> 00:00:42,564
"We shouldn't waste a single moment," said Vinnie.

9
00:00:42,565 --> 00:00:46,182
He tossed a sock into the laundry basket.

10
00:00:46,183 --> 00:00:51,965
"Mom and Dad are in the kitchen," Mandy said in a low voice.

11
00:00:51,966 --> 00:00:55,740
"Maybe we can sneak upstairs."

12
00:00:55,741 --> 00:01:00,799
"Let's go," said Vinnie, and they ran up the steps.

13
00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:06,495
Once they were inside the attic, Mandy grabbed the photo album.

14
00:01:06,496 --> 00:01:10,165
"Look, Vinnie!" exclaimed Mandy.

15
00:01:10,166 --> 00:01:13,587
"We're almost at the end of the album."

16
00:01:13,588 --> 00:01:17,425
She showed him how many pages were left.

17
00:01:17,426 --> 00:01:22,468
"I can't believe how many trips we've done," said Vinnie.

18
00:01:22,469 --> 00:01:24,660
"This is interesting,"

19
00:01:24,661 --> 00:01:28,494
said Mandy, pointing to the new photo.

20
00:01:28,495 --> 00:01:32,472
The old man stood in a boat by a river.

21
00:01:32,473 --> 00:01:35,394
The sun was setting behind him.

22
00:01:35,395 --> 00:01:39,195
Something glowing leaped out of the water.

23
00:01:39,196 --> 00:01:42,895
"Can you tell where this is?" asked Mandy.

24
00:01:42,896 --> 00:01:44,945
Vinnie shook his head.

25
00:01:44,946 --> 00:01:49,962
"Well, we're about to find out!" Mandy cried.

26
00:01:49,963 --> 00:01:55,319
The picture glowed brighter, and the children's eyes closed.

27
00:01:55,320 --> 00:02:00,283
Soon they were spinning down the dark tunnel.

28
00:02:00,284 --> 00:02:04,505
Mandy and Vinnie fell onto soft soil.

29
00:02:04,506 --> 00:02:08,006
They could hear shouts and laughter.

30
00:02:08,007 --> 00:02:13,354
"Where are we?" asked Mandy, standing up.

31
00:02:13,355 --> 00:02:16,218
They were in a small village.

32
00:02:16,219 --> 00:02:19,284
People were running around laughing.

33
00:02:19,285 --> 00:02:24,723
Two women hurried over to the children, holding small cups.

34
00:02:24,724 --> 00:02:28,096
They splashed Vinnie with colored water.

35
00:02:28,097 --> 00:02:32,989
"Gross! What is this?" screamed Vinnie.

36
00:02:32,990 --> 00:02:36,651
The front of his shirt was soaked bright red.

37
00:02:36,652 --> 00:02:39,369
He rubbed at the wet stain.

38
00:02:39,370 --> 00:02:42,223
"Everyone is splashing each other,"

39
00:02:42,224 --> 00:02:45,494
Mandy said, looking around.

40
00:02:45,495 --> 00:02:49,372
The street was filled with people holding cups.

41
00:02:49,373 --> 00:02:55,230
Laughing loudly, they chased each other, throwing colored water.

42
00:02:55,231 --> 00:02:58,758
"What's going on?" asked Vinnie.

43
00:02:58,759 --> 00:03:01,707
A boy splashed Mandy.

44
00:03:01,708 --> 00:03:04,989
"Hey!" cried Mandy.

45
00:03:04,990 --> 00:03:09,217
Her sleeve and part of her arm were stained purple.

46
00:03:09,218 --> 00:03:15,107
The boy set down his cup and put his hands together in front of his chest.

47
00:03:15,108 --> 00:03:19,075
"Hello," he said, bowing slightly.

48
00:03:19,076 --> 00:03:24,337
His face, arms, and clothes were soaked in many bright colors.

49
00:03:24,338 --> 00:03:28,000
The children imitated the boy's greeting.

50
00:03:28,001 --> 00:03:31,918
Vinnie introduced himself and Mandy.

51
00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:35,212
"I'm Rishi," said the boy.

52
00:03:35,213 --> 00:03:37,514
"Is this your first time here?"

53
00:03:37,515 --> 00:03:40,247
Vinnie and Mandy nodded.

54
00:03:40,248 --> 00:03:43,669
"What's going on?" asked Vinnie.

55
00:03:43,670 --> 00:03:45,953
"It's the spring festival!"

56
00:03:45,954 --> 00:03:49,366
shouted Rishi, picking up his cup.

57
00:03:49,367 --> 00:03:52,588
He splashed someone running by.

58
00:03:52,589 --> 00:03:56,423
Everyone was soaked with different colors.

59
00:03:56,424 --> 00:04:00,268
Mandy noticed a cup someone had dropped.

60
00:04:00,269 --> 00:04:02,376
She picked it up.

61
00:04:02,377 --> 00:04:06,085
There was still some colored water inside.

62
00:04:06,086 --> 00:04:12,502
"Oh well, if you can't beat them, join them," she said.

63
00:04:12,503 --> 00:04:21,466
Mandy laughed and quickly splashed Rishi and her brother.
