THE ISLAND IN THE SKY

CHAPTER 4





They clung tightly to the ropes, but the breeze was with them, so
after a few moments, when they became accustomed to the motion, they

they could see the forests and meadows far below them. But the
umbrella kept up its rapid flight.

wrong, Button-Bright? Why don't we stop?"
