<strong>The</strong> <strong>Olympic</strong> <strong>Games</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Greece</strong><br />

Seldon rolled his eyes and slapped his forehead with the hand that<br />

wasn't holding pieces <strong>of</strong> crushed walnut in it. Victor tried to calm<br />

him down.<br />

“Come on, Seldon. It's only a little HITCH. <strong>The</strong>re are lots <strong>of</strong> places<br />

you're allowed into, right Christina?”<br />

“Well, I'm not sure,” Christina admitted.<br />

<strong>The</strong>y carried on walking along the path that went down to<br />

Olympia. Seldon was muttering non-stop that the mission would<br />

be a DISASTER. Ibis and Cali came running back. While Cali pecked<br />

at the bits <strong>of</strong> nut that Seldon had dropped, Ibis said, “We went all<br />

the way to the end <strong>of</strong> the path. <strong>The</strong>re's a gate into the city that's<br />

being watched by two guards, and there are lots <strong>of</strong> people walking<br />

along a wide street that goes over a river. <strong>The</strong> guards let the men<br />

through but not the women. Weird, right?”<br />

“Huh!” muttered Seldon.<br />

“Oh,” the little girl went on, “and there's a very MYSTERIOUS guy<br />

near the entrance.”<br />

“Mysterious?” asked Victor.<br />

“Yeah. He's sitting down, drawing on the ground with a stick. Come<br />

on! You'll see.”<br />
