I Vecchi Mulini a Vento
High on the flat top of the hills, Polly found a row of round stone towers.

In cima alla collina piatta sopra la città, Polly trovò una lunga fila di torri rotonde in pietra, stagliate contro il cielo.
Erano vecchi mulini a vento. Oggi non hanno più né tetto né pale. Sono solo torri aperte, con piccole finestre scure, silenziose nel vento.
Molto tempo fa, il vento forte quassù faceva girare le grandi pale giorno dopo giorno, e i mulini macinavano il grano trasformandolo in farina per tutta la città sottostante.
Polly osservò da vicino le pareti. Era la stessa pietra dorata che aveva visto nella grotta vicino al mare. Inclinò la testa e cominciò a chiedersi come fosse possibile.
That's the story.
