Quiz ↓Am vierten Tag hörte Polly Donner. Aber der Himmel war blau. Sie schaute nach unten. Pferde liefen auf dem Sand.
Polly flog neben einem jungen braunen Pferd. Wohin läuft ihr, fragte sie. Nirgendwohin, sagte das Pferd. Wir laufen einfach hier. Pferde leben schon lange in dieser Schlucht.
Der Sand war weich und flach. Er war perfekt zum Laufen. Der Klang traf die eine Wand und kam von der anderen zurück. Zwanzig Pferde klangen wie zweihundert.
Dann hielten die Pferde an. Ein kleiner Bach floss durch den Sand. Sie trankten das Wasser. Polly setzte sich neben sie und sagte nichts.
