Ei, seal kasvavad imelised lilled ja taimed, mille lehed ja varred on nii tundlikud, et väikseimgi veevirvendus paneb nad õrnalt hõljuma. Kõige sügavamas paigas asub merekuninga loss, mille tugevad seinad on tehtud korallidest ja kõrged aknad kuldsest merevaigust. Katus on laotud merekarpidest, mis avanevad ja sulguvad,...
