When the girls grew tired again, they rested at a stream and copied yesterday's routine. They re-filled the containers- while they were walking they grew thirsty and drank it all- and ate one granola bar each, making sure that they had more.

They drank water until they were full and rested in a clearing on a nice patch of grass- the first they've seen since they left. All they had seen was dirt, leaves, gravel,. Where they were, the dirt melded into rich green grass that proved they were close to the end.

So that morning, when the girls went to sleep, they knew that they must be close to the edge. With that thought, they grasped hands and quickly fell into a peaceful, dreamless sleep.
