Angelo ran up the slopes of the Etna once more. By now he knew every stone and every crevice of the steep, winding path. When he had reached the crater, he was supposed to run a zigzag course among the fumaroles and hot spots on the ground.
When his Master told him to do so the first time so long ago, he had been utterly afraid. What if the volcano erupted while he was down there?
