back in time adventure

Suddenly a mangy dog runs into your path. You trip and fall right into a cage of brightly coloured birds! The cage splits open and the birds start to fly away, chattering loudly. An old man near the cage runs after them, trying to grab them by their legs.
You begin to think maybe you have gone in the wrong direction; there doesn’t seem to be anyone with food over here. And what are tamales, anyway? Do you:
Walk around the side of the large temple, hoping the tamale maker is back there?
Ask a group of boys playing in front of the temple for directions?
