Quiz ↓Polly saltaba por el muro, siguiendo el pequeño canal, cuando de repente se detuvo. Había formas escondidas en la roca.
Eran camellos, tallados en la pared y tan grandes como los de verdad. A su lado caminaban hombres tallados, los mercaderes de tiempos antiguos. El viento y la lluvia habían desgastado poco a poco sus rostros, pero las fuertes patas de los camellos seguían perfectamente claras.
Polly se paró junto a una pata de camello tallada. Era más grande que todo su cuerpo. Se imaginó las verdaderas caravanas que una vez pasaron por ese mismo lugar, cargadas de especias e incienso de dulce aroma.
El viento soplaba por el cañón, y sonaba casi como pasos lentos. Polly se quedó quieta y escuchó durante un buen rato. Luego siguió el canal de agua, adentrándose más profundo.
