Quiz ↓Утром воздух пах сладко и сухо. Полли шла через низкие серебристо-зелёные кусты на склоне горы.
Она задевала розмарин и тимьян. Запах растений шёл за ней повсюду. Эта гора, знаменитый сад.
Здесь растут сотни диких растений. Некоторые из них почти нигде больше не растут в мире.
Маленькая веерная пальма росла между камней. Сосны склонялись над бледным камнем. Полли сидела в тени и слушала ветер.
