The rabbit went along, having nothing better to do. They emerged into the cold gray dawn, and realized they had no idea where they were. Pradip remembered the scroll that the sage Pape Wojtyla had shown him. He followed its direction carefully, making a right over the waterfall, making sure to go over the rock that looks like a bear, but under the bear that looks like a rock. So they went on. And as they walked, they encountered a city. WHat a city it was! Purple domes bent toward the yellow sky, with orange spots populated with horned creatures that made musical sounds.
