"I get it now," Anya said, closing the book. "The 'World Around Us' isn't just what's outside the window. It’s the stars above us, the soil beneath us, and the stories of the people who walked here before we did."
"The Big Dipper," Misha said softly. "It’s the same sky the ancient Slavs looked at, and the same sky the astronauts see today."
Suddenly, a thin, shimmering bookmark fell out from between the pages. It wasn't a normal bookmark; it looked like a strip of birch bark with glowing ink. On it was written: “To understand the world, you must see with both the heart of a traveler and the eyes of a historian.”
