The snow’s thaw is drawing to a close and the mountain is shedding it’s white robe. Alarick and Moko are fishing in one of the mountain’s springs and are catching nothing. They ask an old wise man to tell them where there might be fish. He points them towards the road to the “Ancient mountain”. They follow the road the old man told them about and reach a green luxuriant hill covered with fruit trees and streams. They think that this hill, smaller than their mountain, richer and greener, is younger and simply hasn’t grown up yet.

On that morning, Moko was helping his friend along with the other villagers to cut firewood to heat their homes. Snow begins to fall and Alarick tells Moko that it would be best if they went back inside. But Moko wants to learn the secret of the snow. He heads toward the mountain. At the summit, he sees large trees bending in the wind and clouds of snow swirling around in the sky. As he makes his way back down to the village, the storm blocks his way and he can go no further. Moko begs with the mountain to let him through, promising to tell no one the mountain’s secret. The storm calms and Moko returns to the village. When Alarick asks him what he has learned, Moko tells him that the mountain’s secret is not one that can be revealed.

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.

One morning, Alarick tells Moko that there is no more food in the village so they must head far off into the sea to go fishing. They take a small boat and head out until nightfall when they anchor in the shadow of a great boulder of ice to protect them from the wind. When they wake up they don’t recognize their surroundings. Everything has changed! The ice boulder is drifting along the waves surrounded by dozens of others like it and is dragging their boat along with it. Alarick is scared and tells Moko that they have hit an iceberg and that it is dangerous, but Moko is confident that the ocean has simply provided them with a helping hand to guide them to where there will be more fish for them to bring back to the village.

Alarick’s country is very strange. It has been many days now that night has not falen, and no one seems to be worried.

The sun looks like it will set, but stops short and rises again. Perhaps the ocean is frozen at the horizon and is keeping the sun from setting. He decides to ask the fishermen and one of them responds that the world is filled with such mysteries and that it is more precious for him to learn the secrets of his friend than that of the sun.
