Quiz ↓Полли летит на рассвете над спокойным синим морем. Впереди из воды поднимается длинная гора. С этой стороны она похожа на спящего слона. Люди зовут её Монтго.
Под горой стоит маленький белый городок. Там узкие улицы, черепичные крыши и тихий рыбацкий порт. Городок называется Хавеа. Он стоит между горой и морем.
Полли садится на тёплый камень высоко на горе. Камень цвета мёда. Она смотрит вниз, на весь берег.
Солнце встаёт над морем. Свет красит гору и городок в золотой цвет. Полли решает остаться здесь на семь дней.
