The country which he was looking at was absolutely new to him. It was a green valley.land dotted with trees through which he caught the gleam of a river that wound away roughly to the North.West. On the far side of the valley there were high and even rocky hills, but they were lower than the mountains he had seen yesterday. Then he began to guess where he was. He turned and looked behind him and saw that the slope on which he was standing belonged to a range of far higher mountains.

He turned and unsaddled his horse and took off its bridle.“Though you are a perfectly horrid horse,” he said. It took no notice of this remark and immediately began eating grass. That horse had a very low opinion of Shasta.
