﻿1
00:00:06,800 --> 00:00:09,910
Mandy was very upset.

2
00:00:09,911 --> 00:00:16,988
Rishi was explaining the caste system, but she didn't think it was right.

3
00:00:16,989 --> 00:00:21,008
"It's cruel!" she said angrily.

4
00:00:21,009 --> 00:00:24,810
"You treat cows better than humans."

5
00:00:24,811 --> 00:00:30,806
"The untouchables did something wrong in a past life," explained Rishi.

6
00:00:30,807 --> 00:00:33,705
"The gods are punishing them."

7
00:00:33,706 --> 00:00:39,101
"But you don't even look at them," said Mandy.

8
00:00:39,102 --> 00:00:42,556
Vinnie poked Mandy to keep quiet.

9
00:00:42,557 --> 00:00:48,861
"If we look at them, we will be unclean for the whole day," said Rishi.

10
00:00:48,862 --> 00:00:52,796
"Well, I think—," Mandy began.

11
00:00:52,797 --> 00:00:57,576
Vinnie interrupted: "I think we're at the palace."

12
00:00:57,577 --> 00:01:02,274
They looked ahead and saw a spectacular view.

13
00:01:02,275 --> 00:01:06,513
Flowers decorated the road to the palace entrance.

14
00:01:06,514 --> 00:01:11,791
The children passed through an arch with fountains on either side.

15
00:01:11,792 --> 00:01:18,880
"It's wonderful!" Mandy gasped, forgetting her anger.

16
00:01:18,881 --> 00:01:25,178
"Look at the elephants and monkeys!" Vinnie laughed.

17
00:01:25,179 --> 00:01:29,353
Trainers were putting gold paint on two elephants.

18
00:01:29,354 --> 00:01:33,329
Monkeys sat in the trees above, watching.

19
00:01:33,330 --> 00:01:38,194
Golden statues stood along the way to the palace door.

20
00:01:38,195 --> 00:01:41,578
A male servant led them inside.

21
00:01:41,579 --> 00:01:47,077
"The palace has over a hundred rooms," whispered Rishi.

22
00:01:47,078 --> 00:01:49,408
"This one is for chess."

23
00:01:49,409 --> 00:01:52,297
He pointed to an open door.

24
00:01:52,298 --> 00:01:54,793
"There are many bedrooms.

25
00:01:54,794 --> 00:01:58,670
The king can sleep in a different bed every night."

26
00:01:58,671 --> 00:02:01,640
They waited behind two women.

27
00:02:01,641 --> 00:02:05,636
One woman held a live chicken in her arm.

28
00:02:05,637 --> 00:02:09,256
She was yelling at a woman holding a baby.

29
00:02:09,257 --> 00:02:13,474
"There you are!" a familiar voice said sharply.

30
00:02:13,475 --> 00:02:17,355
It was Babu Yadav waiting by a doorway.

31
00:02:17,356 --> 00:02:22,864
Music floated out of the room as the women ahead of them went in.

32
00:02:22,865 --> 00:02:25,691
"Babu Yadav, have pity.

33
00:02:25,692 --> 00:02:30,175
These children are strangers," began Rishi's father.

34
00:02:30,176 --> 00:02:32,521
"They did not know . . ."

35
00:02:32,522 --> 00:02:35,811
"I don't care," said Babu Yadav.

36
00:02:35,812 --> 00:02:38,703
"He must be punished."

37
00:02:38,704 --> 00:02:42,631
The women quickly came out through the door.

38
00:02:42,632 --> 00:02:44,114
"It's our turn.

39
00:02:44,115 --> 00:02:45,492
The king is waiting!"

40
00:02:45,493 --> 00:02:49,981
exclaimed Babu Yadav, as he walked into the king's hall.

41
00:02:49,982 --> 00:02:53,803
Rishi's father and the children followed.

42
00:02:53,804 --> 00:02:59,369
"Whoa!" gasped Vinnie when he stepped inside.

43
00:02:59,370 --> 00:03:04,068
A tiger tied to a post was licking a huge bone.

44
00:03:04,069 --> 00:03:08,655
A small distance away, musicians were playing.

45
00:03:08,656 --> 00:03:12,007
One plucked a harp.

46
00:03:12,008 --> 00:03:17,987
Two women stood beside a short, fat, man sitting on a soft couch.

47
00:03:17,988 --> 00:03:23,291
They gently waved fans made of animal hair over his head.

48
00:03:23,292 --> 00:03:27,453
The man wore a long robe and tight pants.

49
00:03:27,454 --> 00:03:32,139
The turban on his head was decorated with jewels.

50
00:03:32,140 --> 00:03:36,220
"What is your problem?" the man asked.

51
00:03:36,221 --> 00:03:39,563
"My king, I come before you with a troubled heart,"

52
00:03:39,564 --> 00:03:43,346
Babu Yadav began, bowing low.

53
00:03:43,347 --> 00:03:48,055
The king nodded for Babu Yadav to continue.

54
00:03:48,056 --> 00:03:54,341
The man told about the cow and Vinnie, and the king's eyes opened wide.

55
00:03:54,342 --> 00:03:57,642
He stared at Vinnie and Mandy.

56
00:03:57,643 --> 00:04:01,842
"You are not from India," he pointed out.

57
00:04:01,843 --> 00:04:07,134
"No, sir, I mean, your majesty," Vinnie stuttered.

58
00:04:07,135 --> 00:04:12,305
"If I may go on, my king," Babu Yadav interrupted.

59
00:04:12,306 --> 00:04:15,099
The king held up his hand.

60
00:04:15,100 --> 00:04:17,851
"Your cow was not harmed.

61
00:04:17,852 --> 00:04:25,053
So we can overlook this matter," yawned the king.

62
00:04:25,054 --> 00:04:32,546
He clapped his hands. "Next!"
