“Out of the silence came a faint voice, both familiar and loving. The voice was singing a song with words that he had never heard. Yet he knew that the words were true. And he began singing them softly as they came to him out of the silence. “Some sleep beneath the heavy earth,Some higher than the sky,All waiting for a timely birth,The Seven Sleepers lie. “The house of Goél will be filled,The earth itself will quake!The beast will be forever stilled,When Seven Sleepers wake!”

I like that! Haven’t you told him yet, Crusoe?” “Told me what?” Josh asked anxiously. “Why, we’re normal,” Mat said loudly, pointing at Tam and himself. “You’re the freak around here!”
