“Where can they have been all day?”
“If only we knew that they were safe!”
The mother and father could not see the pony as it neared the cliff.
Mavo had fallen asleep in Teni’s arms, and Demino walked on, thinking how glad the parents would be to see their children.
Teni did not say a word, but kept looking toward his home.
The father and mother were looking anxiously into the valley.
While they were watching, they saw shadows in the distance.
“Look!” said the mother. “I see something. Can it be our children?”
They waited a moment, then the father climbed down the cliff and ran quickly toward Demino.
