Quiz ↓Высоко на плоской вершине холмов Полли нашла ряд круглых каменных башен.
Это были старые ветряные мельницы. Сегодня у них нет крыш и нет крыльев. Это просто открытые башни с маленькими окнами.
Давным-давно сильный ветер крутил их, и они молотили пшеницу в муку для города.
Полли внимательно посмотрела на камень. Это был тот же золотой камень, как в пещере у моря. Она начала задумываться.
