﻿1
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:14,496
The band played as two large, masked creatures jumped onto the stage.

2
00:00:14,497 --> 00:00:18,557
One looked like a scary lion made of straw.

3
00:00:18,558 --> 00:00:24,861
The other had long hair, bulging eyes, and pointy fingernails.

4
00:00:24,862 --> 00:00:28,952
"What is this dance about?" asked Mandy.

5
00:00:28,953 --> 00:00:33,744
"This is a story of good and evil," explained Nyoman.

6
00:00:33,745 --> 00:00:38,778
"The lion protects his people and land from an evil spirit."

7
00:00:38,779 --> 00:00:43,366
She pointed to the two dancers in strange costumes.

8
00:00:43,367 --> 00:00:46,711
Mandy clapped her hands excitedly.

9
00:00:46,712 --> 00:00:50,335
She was scared and amazed at the same time.

10
00:00:50,336 --> 00:00:55,979
On the other side of the crowd, Vinnie was watching the dance too.

11
00:00:55,980 --> 00:01:02,116
"Cool!" he kept saying. "Look at that mask!"

12
00:01:02,117 --> 00:01:04,465
"Watch the lion's helpers,"

13
00:01:04,466 --> 00:01:09,501
said Wayan as men in checkered clothes jumped out.

14
00:01:09,502 --> 00:01:13,161
"They have knives!" shouted Vinnie.

15
00:01:13,162 --> 00:01:19,216
"Yes. The evil spirit will soon put a spell on them," said Wayan.

16
00:01:19,217 --> 00:01:25,066
Vinnie noticed Mandy in the crowd with Nyoman and her family.

17
00:01:25,067 --> 00:01:27,526
"Hey! There's my sister!"

18
00:01:27,527 --> 00:01:31,546
he shouted and ran over.

19
00:01:31,547 --> 00:01:34,865
"Where have you been?" she asked.

20
00:01:34,866 --> 00:01:39,199
"It's a long story," said Vinnie.

21
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:42,431
He told her about the rumbling volcano.

22
00:01:42,432 --> 00:01:44,364
The dance ended.

23
00:01:44,365 --> 00:01:49,681
People began to leave the village center, walking in happy groups.

24
00:01:49,682 --> 00:01:53,290
Wayan came over to Vinnie and Mandy.

25
00:01:53,291 --> 00:01:57,181
"We'll make our offerings now," said Wayan.

26
00:01:57,182 --> 00:02:00,962
"Where is the temple?" asked Mandy.

27
00:02:00,963 --> 00:02:05,406
"It's on the slopes of that mountain," said Nyoman.

28
00:02:05,407 --> 00:02:09,271
"It is the most important temple in all of Bali.

29
00:02:09,272 --> 00:02:12,764
 We call it the Mother Temple."

30
00:02:12,765 --> 00:02:17,499
"It's the only temple anyone can enter," added Wayan.

31
00:02:17,500 --> 00:02:21,085
"What do you mean?" asked Mandy.

32
00:02:21,086 --> 00:02:27,628
"You have to belong to a special group to worship at other temples," explained Nyoman.

33
00:02:27,629 --> 00:02:31,801
"At Mother Temple, everyone is welcome."

34
00:02:31,802 --> 00:02:35,337
"I don't know if it's a good idea to go there,"

35
00:02:35,338 --> 00:02:39,162
said Vinnie, remembering the shaking ground.

36
00:02:39,163 --> 00:02:43,423
"We are not afraid of the mountain god," said Wayan.

37
00:02:43,424 --> 00:02:47,754
"The Mother Temple protects us from his rumblings."

38
00:02:47,755 --> 00:02:49,884
Vinnie stopped.

39
00:02:49,885 --> 00:02:52,987
"I don't want to go up there again, Mandy,"

40
00:02:52,988 --> 00:02:56,468
he whispered, grabbing his sister's arm.

41
00:02:56,469 --> 00:02:58,784
"It's a volcano!"

42
00:02:58,785 --> 00:03:03,179
Mandy suddenly gasped as she stared ahead.

43
00:03:03,180 --> 00:03:07,516
On the slope of the mountain was a large temple.

44
00:03:07,517 --> 00:03:11,281
The village people were all heading toward it.

45
00:03:11,282 --> 00:03:16,262
"Vinnie, look!" Mandy pulled the photo out.

46
00:03:16,263 --> 00:03:18,755
It was glowing blue.

47
00:03:18,756 --> 00:03:22,578
"We're in the right place," Vinnie said.

48
00:03:22,579 --> 00:03:25,743
"But what's everyone holding?"

49
00:03:25,744 --> 00:03:30,636
"Mandy! Vinnie! Come on," Nyoman called to them.

50
00:03:30,637 --> 00:03:33,612
"We must take our offerings to the gods."

51
00:03:33,613 --> 00:03:36,232
She quickly walked on ahead.

52
00:03:36,233 --> 00:03:40,480
"What's in their hands?" Vinnie asked again.

53
00:03:40,481 --> 00:03:45,745
As they got closer, they saw people walking up the steps.

54
00:03:45,746 --> 00:03:49,146
Everyone held something in their hands.

55
00:03:49,147 --> 00:03:52,495
Mandy looked at the photo and smiled.

56
00:03:52,496 --> 00:03:56,146
The offerings in the photo were glowing red.

57
00:03:56,147 --> 00:04:00,270
"Flowers," Mandy said, pointing.

58
00:04:00,271 --> 00:04:05,058
Everyone was holding flowers wrapped in coconut leaves.

59
00:04:05,059 --> 00:04:09,729
Suddenly the children were blinded by the bright light.

60
00:04:09,730 --> 00:04:20,248
They fell down the dark tunnel and landed with a thump in the attic.
