The reader learns about ancient sailing and how sailors had to use the sun and the stars to navigate their way on the high seas. The reader learns about the four directions of the compass. Medus and Lydia are on a boat with whatever little things they have. Medus is hopeful that Greece will be a better country than Italy, but Lydia is sad to leave. The whole sky becomes filled with a black cloud. Lydia calls out to Jesus Christ for help, and eerily, the waves and high winds calm down.
