1
00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:13,940
Vinnie and Wayan left the racing field.

2
00:00:13,941 --> 00:00:18,885
They tied the oxen to a tree and walked up the mountain.

3
00:00:18,886 --> 00:00:21,166
"Where are we going?"

4
00:00:21,167 --> 00:00:24,376
Vinnie asked as they went higher.

5
00:00:24,377 --> 00:00:28,250
"To my favorite spot," said Wayan.

6
00:00:28,251 --> 00:00:31,048
The boys stopped to rest.

7
00:00:31,049 --> 00:00:34,979
"Wow!" Vinnie gasped.

8
00:00:34,980 --> 00:00:38,620
"I can see everything from up here!"

9
00:00:38,621 --> 00:00:42,984
He was looking down at the village and ocean.

10
00:00:42,985 --> 00:00:46,106
Wayan laughed.

11
00:00:46,107 --> 00:00:53,647
"From here, everything—the mountains, the sea, the village—looks connected.

12
00:00:53,648 --> 00:01:00,746
In Bali, everything we build and do is based on this idea of connection," he said.

13
00:01:00,747 --> 00:01:04,533
"I don't understand," said Vinnie.

14
00:01:04,534 --> 00:01:11,010
"To be happy, people should live in harmony with nature, the gods, and each other.

15
00:01:11,011 --> 00:01:19,459
My father says that harmony with those three things is necessary for a good life," continued Wayan.

16
00:01:19,460 --> 00:01:24,445
Back at the village, the adults were ready to hold their meeting.

17
00:01:24,446 --> 00:01:28,392
"Mandy, come home with me," said Nyoman.

18
00:01:28,393 --> 00:01:31,309
"We can get ready for the festival."

19
00:01:31,310 --> 00:01:36,436
"Sure," replied Mandy, walking with her new friend.

20
00:01:36,437 --> 00:01:41,808
The homes reminded Mandy of the courtyard houses she had seen in China.

21
00:01:41,809 --> 00:01:51,068
Nyoman pointed out that every family had separate areas for different activities.

22
00:01:51,069 --> 00:01:54,440
"We sleep and eat in different places.

23
00:01:54,441 --> 00:01:58,785
There's also a building for ceremonies and a guest house.

24
00:01:58,786 --> 00:02:01,972
The wall is to keep out evil forces."

25
00:02:01,973 --> 00:02:05,733
Then Nyoman asked, "Are you hungry?"

26
00:02:05,734 --> 00:02:08,957
"Yes," said Mandy.

27
00:02:08,958 --> 00:02:13,479
Suddenly Nyoman climbed up a tall tree.

28
00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:18,215
"Watch your head!" she called, and she dropped a coconut.

29
00:02:18,216 --> 00:02:20,208
It broke in half.

30
00:02:20,209 --> 00:02:25,389
Nyoman climbed down, and the girls shared the delicious fruit.

31
00:02:25,390 --> 00:02:30,648
"I love climbing trees," giggled Nyoman.

32
00:02:30,649 --> 00:02:33,969
"Can I try?" asked Mandy.

33
00:02:33,970 --> 00:02:41,807
Nyoman led her to a smaller tree with green bananas and said, "Climb this one."

34
00:02:41,808 --> 00:02:47,332
Mandy was about to climb when she heard loud screeching.

35
00:02:47,333 --> 00:02:53,480
A few monkeys scrambled down a tree and started chasing the girls.

36
00:02:53,481 --> 00:03:01,607
Laughing, Nyoman and Mandy ran until they reached the rice field behind Nyoman's house.

37
00:03:01,608 --> 00:03:06,116
There Mandy noticed a miniature house on a pole.

38
00:03:06,117 --> 00:03:09,875
Grains of rice were sprinkled inside.

39
00:03:09,876 --> 00:03:13,347
"What is this?" she asked.

40
00:03:13,348 --> 00:03:17,812
"A rice field temple," explained Nyoman.

41
00:03:17,813 --> 00:03:21,688
"Rice farmers give rice grains to the Rice Mother.

42
00:03:21,689 --> 00:03:25,149
She is the most loved goddess in Bali."

43
00:03:25,150 --> 00:03:28,465
"Wow," said Mandy.

44
00:03:28,466 --> 00:03:32,115
"There are a lot of temples in Bali!"

45
00:03:32,116 --> 00:03:34,518
"Every family has one.

46
00:03:34,519 --> 00:03:38,604
Every village has one too," said Nyoman.

47
00:03:38,605 --> 00:03:41,699
"There are mountain temples and river temples . . .

48
00:03:41,700 --> 00:03:46,093
Bali is called the island of a thousand temples."

49
00:03:46,094 --> 00:03:51,804
Back on the mountain, Vinnie and Wayan were ready to return to the village.

50
00:03:51,805 --> 00:03:55,521
Suddenly Vinnie felt the ground shake.

51
00:03:55,522 --> 00:04:00,157
"Whoa! What's that?" he shouted.

52
00:04:00,158 --> 00:04:04,073
A low sound rumbled like thunder.

53
00:04:04,074 --> 00:04:08,884
"The mountain is not happy," said Wayan worriedly.

54
00:04:08,885 --> 00:04:12,312
"What do you mean?" asked Vinnie.

55
00:04:12,313 --> 00:04:17,003
"The god who lives in the mountain is upset," said Wayan.

56
00:04:17,004 --> 00:04:19,765
The ground shook harder.

57
00:04:19,766 --> 00:04:26,739
"Let's get out of here!" shouted Vinnie.
