Quiz ↓Polly voló hacia el cañón. Las paredes eran mucho más grandes ahora. La roca roja subía derecho hacia arriba. No había forma de subir.
Líneas oscuras bajaban por la pared. Parecían tinta negra. Pero no eran pintura. El agua y el polvo las hicieron, muy despacio, durante mucho tiempo.
Bajo la roca, Polly encontró muchos nidos pequeños hechos de barro. Cientos de golondrinas vivían ahí. Sube con el viento, dijo un pájaro. El aire caliente sube.
Entonces Polly voló con el aire caliente. No movió sus alas. Esa tarde, el acantilado tenía más de mil pies de altura.
