Quiz ↓Am Mittag kam die Sonne bis hinunter in die Schlucht. Die Wände begannen zu leuchten. Polly sah Rot, Rosa, Orange und Honig, alles in Wellen im Stein.
In den Wänden fand sie kleine Türen aus Stein, nicht tiefer als ein Nest. In jeder stand ein einfacher, eckiger Stein. Reisende hielten hier vor langer Zeit an und beteten für eine gute Reise.
Ein kleiner rosa Vogel landete neben ihr. Es war ein Rosengimpel, und seine Federn hatten genau die Farbe des Felsens. Die beiden Vögel schauten sich an und sagten nichts.
Am Abend wurden die Farben tief und warm. Polly legte ihren Flügel an die Wand. Der Fels hielt noch die Wärme des Tages.
