Quiz ↓En lo alto de la cima plana de las colinas, sobre el pueblo, Polly encontró una larga fila de torres redondas de piedra recortadas contra el cielo.
Eran molinos de viento antiguos. Hoy ya no tienen tejado ni aspas. Son solo torres abiertas con pequeñas ventanas oscuras, calladas bajo el viento.
Hace mucho tiempo, el viento fuerte de aquí arriba hacía girar sus grandes aspas día tras día, y los molinos molían el trigo para hacer harina para todo el pueblo de abajo.
Polly miró las paredes de cerca. Era la misma piedra dorada que había visto en la cueva junto al mar. Inclinó la cabeza y empezó a hacerse preguntas.
