Mababang lumipad si Polly sa ibabaw ng itim na bato at luntiang bukid sa tabi ng dagat. May ulap sa mga burol sa loob. Ito ang São Miguel, ang pinakamalaking pulo ng Azores.
Ang pulo ay nabuo sa ilalim ng dagat. Tatlong malaking piraso ng mundo ang nagtutulakan doon. Umaakyat ang init sa mga bitak ng bato. Bawat pulo rito ay galing sa apoy at lumamig na bato.
Karamihan ng bukid dito ay may bakod na bulaklak na hydrangea: asul, lila, at minsan rosas. Matagal nang dinala ng mga magsasaka ang halaman mula sa Asya para markahan ang hangganan. Ang mayamang lupa ang nagpapalalim ng asul.
Sa loob, may luntiang burol sa palibot ng tahimik na lambak. May manipis na puting singaw doon. Lumipad si Polly patungo sa mataas na lupa para tumingin.
That's the story.
