﻿1
00:00:06,267 --> 00:00:11,258
Vinnie and Mandy stood by the front door with their parents.

2
00:00:11,259 --> 00:00:15,774
Mom was taking them shopping for new school clothes.

3
00:00:15,775 --> 00:00:20,541
"What will you do, honey?" Mom asked Dad.

4
00:00:20,542 --> 00:00:24,782
"Don't worry about me." He smiled.

5
00:00:24,783 --> 00:00:27,896
"I'll be working on my den."

6
00:00:27,897 --> 00:00:31,472
Vinnie and Mandy looked at each other.

7
00:00:31,473 --> 00:00:36,861
"Do you have to do it now, Dad?" Mandy asked.

8
00:00:36,862 --> 00:00:40,145
She had left the album on a shelf.

9
00:00:40,146 --> 00:00:43,107
He would certainly see it.

10
00:00:43,108 --> 00:00:45,496
"Why shouldn't I?

11
00:00:45,497 --> 00:00:48,789
You'll be out," replied Dad.

12
00:00:48,790 --> 00:00:51,656
He opened the front door for them.

13
00:00:51,657 --> 00:00:55,411
"But . . . ," whined Mandy.

14
00:00:55,412 --> 00:00:58,857
"What's the matter?" asked Mom.

15
00:00:58,858 --> 00:01:02,032
"You love to go shopping."

16
00:01:02,033 --> 00:01:06,071
"I know, but . . . ," said Mandy.

17
00:01:06,072 --> 00:01:10,300
"We need a miracle," Vinnie whispered.

18
00:01:10,301 --> 00:01:15,456
"What did you say?" asked Mom.

19
00:01:15,457 --> 00:01:19,415
The phone suddenly rang, and Dad answered it.

20
00:01:19,416 --> 00:01:22,755
"It's your mother," he said to Mom.

21
00:01:22,756 --> 00:01:25,676
"I'll just be a minute, kids.

22
00:01:25,677 --> 00:01:28,906
Wait in the car," Mom said.

23
00:01:28,907 --> 00:01:35,315
"Well, okay," said Mandy, feeling a bit uncertain.

24
00:01:35,316 --> 00:01:38,442
Vinnie winked at Mandy and said,

25
00:01:38,443 --> 00:01:42,556
"Uh, I left something upstairs.

26
00:01:42,557 --> 00:01:44,734
I'll be right back."

27
00:01:44,735 --> 00:01:48,887
"Me too!" Mandy added quickly.

28
00:01:48,888 --> 00:01:51,817
They both ran upstairs.

29
00:01:51,818 --> 00:01:55,214
"I think those kids are hiding something,"

30
00:01:55,215 --> 00:01:58,334
Dad muttered to himself.

31
00:01:58,335 --> 00:02:04,187
When they got to the attic, the children let out a long sigh.

32
00:02:04,188 --> 00:02:07,652
"I was so scared he'd find this,"

33
00:02:07,653 --> 00:02:11,982
Mandy said as she took the album from the shelf.

34
00:02:11,983 --> 00:02:16,002
"We don't have a lot of time," Vinnie said.

35
00:02:16,003 --> 00:02:19,053
"Do you want to go on a trip now?"

36
00:02:19,054 --> 00:02:21,125
Mandy nodded.

37
00:02:21,126 --> 00:02:25,761
"But hurry! Mom won't be on the phone long."

38
00:02:25,762 --> 00:02:28,567
Vinnie opened the album.

39
00:02:28,568 --> 00:02:34,789
The old man was standing by a table with a small black machine on it.

40
00:02:34,790 --> 00:02:41,320
A woman was holding something and it was glowing.

41
00:02:41,321 --> 00:02:46,005
"It looks like a sewing machine," remarked Mandy.

42
00:02:46,006 --> 00:02:48,888
"But what's glowing?"

43
00:02:48,889 --> 00:02:51,634
Vinnie looked at the photo.

44
00:02:51,635 --> 00:02:55,311
"Some kind of curtain, I think."

45
00:02:55,312 --> 00:03:03,556
Before he could look more closely, the children fell down the dark tunnel.

46
00:03:03,557 --> 00:03:09,645
Mandy landed on soft grass, and Vinnie fell beside her.

47
00:03:09,646 --> 00:03:12,720
A crowd was gathered nearby.

48
00:03:12,721 --> 00:03:14,324
"Where are we?"

49
00:03:14,325 --> 00:03:18,123
Mandy asked, dusting off her clothes.

50
00:03:18,124 --> 00:03:22,263
She wore a pretty pink dress with ribbons.

51
00:03:22,264 --> 00:03:25,454
Vinnie looked down at his pants.

52
00:03:25,455 --> 00:03:28,288
They came just to his knees.

53
00:03:28,289 --> 00:03:31,829
He wore long socks and black shoes.

54
00:03:31,830 --> 00:03:33,458
"I don't know,"

55
00:03:33,459 --> 00:03:39,169
Vinnie began, but he was interrupted by music.

56
00:03:39,170 --> 00:03:42,759
The children ran to join the crowd.

57
00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:48,551
Everyone was standing in front of a very large, carved marble arch.

58
00:03:48,552 --> 00:03:53,348
Behind the arch was a huge building with many columns.

59
00:03:53,349 --> 00:03:58,986
"The flag on that arch looks familiar," said Mandy.

60
00:03:58,987 --> 00:04:03,018
"Mandy!" Vinnie cried excitedly.

61
00:04:03,019 --> 00:04:05,565
"I think we're in—"

62
00:04:05,566 --> 00:04:10,441
Before Vinnie could finish, someone grabbed Mandy.

63
00:04:10,442 --> 00:04:14,934
"There you are!" a young woman shouted.

64
00:04:14,935 --> 00:04:20,656
"I've been looking everywhere for you!"
