After about a mile, a stranger appeared beside the path. “Am I going the right way?” I asked. He knew where I was going. “Yes, “ he replied, “ you will get there in five minutes.” Finally, I came to some rocks and stopped. I looked over them, but it was silent and there was no sign of it. A great wonder of the natural world Suddenly, the rain stopped and the clouds cleared. The sun rose behind me and shone on the rocks. Far below me, the ground fell away and down to a river.
