âSo Aristotle was a great lover of wisdom,â said Annie.
âI guess so,â said Jack. âBut I wonder why this book is such a treasure.â
âWait a minute,â said Annie. âDoesnât Merlinâs note tell us that we have to help the caliph of Baghdad spread wisdom to the world?â
Jack caught his breath. âYeah,â he said. âAnd if this is a book of Aristotleâs writings, it must be full of wisdomâ¦. We have to get this book to the caliphâthatâs our mission for Merlin!â
âWe better get going!â said Annie.
Jack and Annie pulled on the reins of their camels and clucked their tongues. Beauty and Cutie knelt in the sand, and Jack and Annie climbed on. Leaving the broken box behind, Jack carefully packed the ancient book of Aristotleâs wisdom and the research book into his bag. Then he hung the bag from his saddle horn.
âWhich way?â said Annie.
âToward the rising sun in the east,â said Jack. âThatâs what Mamoon said.â
âItâs that way, then,â said Annie. She pointed toward a bright blur in the hazy sky.
Jack and Annieâs camels headed into the dusty, glaring sun. âHey, weâre following Merlinâs second instruction now,â said Annie. âRide through the dust and hot morning light.â
âYouâre right,â said Jack.
As Jack and Annie kept traveling toward the east, the desert sands shimmered and sparkled with heat. The air cleared, but still they saw no sign of Mamoon.
Jack looked down to shield his eyes from the burning sunlight. Exhausted, he closed his eyes. As Beauty swayed gently from side to side, Jackâs head dropped forward. Suddenly he heard Annie shout, âJack! Look!â
âWhat? Mamoon?â said Jack, jerking awake.
âNo! Look!â said Annie.
In the distance, Jack saw sunlit towers and domes shining against the clear blue sky. âOh, man,â he whispered. âBaghdad.â
