“It’s impossible!” Patch gasped. “It’s completely impossible!”
“What?” Garry begged, his own excitement growing.
“Look! There’s somebody walking around down there or else I’m seeing things!”
Garry looked where Patch pointed, and he too found it hard to believe his eyes. There was someone or something moving around.
“I see it!” Garry said. “Come on, let’s go down and get a closer look!”
“I just hope it isn’t in as bad shape as we are!” Patch exclaimed.
They hurried as fast as they dared over the bumpy ground, heading straight for the person or thing that was moving about in seemingly aimless fashion on the plain below.
“He sees us!” Patch said. “He’s coming toward us!”
Swiftly the distance closed between the boys and the lone stranger. And then Garry and Patch received the surprise of their lives.
“Katrinka!” they shouted together, not believing what they saw.
