land. but it is really nothing more than
the summit Of an extinct volcano stick

there is nowhere else for them to live,
the outside slopes being nearly as
steep as the sides Of house.

the people are all Dutch. Nevertheless
they speak English as their native
tongue. They call their crater town
Bottom because it IS situated on the
top Of mountain.

the sea, they often spend weeks with
