They woke with the rooster. Not an hour later, they were back on the trail to Kahani.
City living has made Fup and Bear soft; this becomes clear after just a short while trying to keep up with Wiggums, who has kindly volunteered to escort them to the stables nearby. Zooey, meanwhile, can't believe his luck — finally he can pick up the pace. Plus, Wiggums knows the names of all the plants and what they taste like. Some you can eat without getting sick.
But even Zooey finds himself short of breath as the hills wind steadily up and up. Firs reach so far into the sky that the travelers can't see the treetops without lying on their backs. Not that anyone would actually do it, what with the overgrown curtain of fern and ivy billowing over the ground (hiding who knows what), and the rocks and roots crowding in on all sides. Then also there are the countless downed trees blocking the way like bunkers, six feet up and across, and hundreds more in length.
It's more than a little spooky when you stop to think how it will be after sunset, without daylight, or Wiggums, who'll soon turn back toward home.
