3. Miners carry lights deep into caves to search for these rocks in the deepest darkness.
4. Far from where people live, they dig deep into the ground, down where no one else has been before. There they work all alone, hanging from ropes.

6. In the rocks there are sapphires and grains of pure gold.
7. Wild birds know nothing about the way to these places. No falcon has ever seen it.
