The singing stones

The singing stones

On that night the tide was low and the boat had been beached. Moko and Alarick were playing percussion and flute to pass the time. Suddenly, it was as if their music was being accompanied by a strange singing. They decided to investigate the source of this strange new sound. Walking along a hilly path in the forest, they were surrounded by hundreds of tall rocks that stood like humans in the dusk. A gust of wind blew and they could once again hear the bizarre song. Frightened at first, Moko and Alarick decided that the rocks were singing as a choir and the joined them with their instruments. When the wind fell, they regained their boat, happy to have participated in the symphony of the singing stones... who were probably lonely and wanted to attract visitors.

On this particular evening, the tide was low. Moko and Alarick's boat was beached on the shore. Night was falling and the day's colours werefading. Moko and Alarick were contemplating the horizon.
Suddenly, the two friends heard a peculiar songin the distance, like a long whistling sound,that was coming from behind the hills of thefrozen coast. Let's go see where that song is coming from! Said Moko. They walked along a path that circled a mysterious looking hill.
Then, in the dusk's light, they discovered a field where hundreds of strange rocks rose from the ground like tree trunks. This is the stone forest, whispered Alarick. Where evil winds have turned the trees into rocks!
