As he takes his next step, he loses his footing and falls forward and downward into a deep hole. He spirals downward into the endless dark, turning upside down and then feet first and then sidewise. After what seems like forever, Cubby pops up through a hole in the ground. He lands thousands of miles from his homeland, in a strange land. He has never seen or known of this place before. He notices a sign that reads "Entering Athens". This is indeed a strange land. The igloos are square and built high on hills overlooking blue water. There is no snow or ice anywhere. The square igloos have white round poles in front of them, but he is not sure what they are. Someone tells him they were built centuries ago and are called columns.
