Quiz ↓En haut, sur la colline plate, Polly trouve une rangée de tours rondes en pierre.
Ce sont de vieux moulins. Aujourd'hui, ils n'ont pas de toit et pas d'ailes. Ce sont juste des tours ouvertes avec de petites fenêtres.
Il y a longtemps, le vent fort les faisait tourner. Ils transformaient le blé en farine pour la ville.
Polly regarde la pierre de près. C'est la même pierre dorée que la grotte près de la mer. Elle commence à se poser des questions.
