14 <strong>The</strong> <strong>Mystery</strong> on the Great Wall of China Mimi laughed. “That’s the famous Tian’an Men Square. It’s where the People’s Republic of China was founded.” She waved her arm at the enormous open space surrounded by red and gold-frosted gates and filled with gawking tourists from around the world. “And that’s the famous Forbidden City,” said Papa. “It’s where 24 emperors ruled for almost 500 years.” Everyone stared at the gigantic complex of orange-roofed palaces and other structures. Forbidden, thought Grant. That means I really want to go there! “And that,” said Grant, to answer Christina’s last question, “is a gazillion million bicycles.” Indeed, the army of bikes spinning through the city seemed endless and amazing. Suddenly, the taxi driver began to speak in a loud voice. He waved his arms around. Li explained, “He’s speaking Mandarin. He says this is your hotel.” “Hey, the sign says MARCO POLO,” said Grant. “I know him!” “You do?” asked Cong, surprised. “Sure,” said Grant. “He must have invented swimming pools, because every time
Pen Pals 15 we swim in Mimi’s and Papa’s pool, we play a game where we say MARCO…POLO… MARCO…POLO… MARCO…POLO…” “Enough, Grant, please!” said Mimi. “Marco Polo traveled the famous Silk Road through China, in search of spices and silk…and other treasures.” As they got out of the taxi to go into the hotel, Grant pulled Christina aside. “Did you hear what Mimi said? She said treasure!” “Well she also said, no mystery, please,” said Christina. Grant frowned and shook his new bag of cookies. “Well, we’ll just see what the fortune cookies say about that!”
