Polly hears the old story of a rider and a deer at the cliff edge.

On day four the wind was strong. Polly hopped across a big stone square on the clifftop. Gulls landed sideways in the wind.
At the edge of the cliff was a very small chapel. Inside, the walls were covered with blue and white tiles. It was cool and quiet.
The tiles told an old story. A rider hunted a deer in the fog. The deer jumped into the mist. The ground ended there. But the horse stopped at the edge, and the rider was safe.
Outside, Polly sat on a statue with a deer head. It held a surfboard. Below, the waves were getting bigger.
That's the story.
