     “You see how the wind has pressed it into a hard layer?” “The sarma did it!” one of the children told Alex. “The sarma wind is mighty. It's so strong it turns ships upside down.” “Ah, that's something I didn't know. Well, we can thank the sarma for making excellent material for us." "The mountain hides our homes from the sarma," said another.
