Elsa reached Hut Two in the afternoon . The keeper was sweeping near the door . " Bread came early today , " he said . Elsa opened the register . There was one old entry from a hiker she would never meet . She turned to the next blank page . Elsa wrote : The path from Hut One is hard for the first hour , then it becomes flat and wide , and by the afternoon you understand why you came . I have been writing in these registers for three days now and I wonder if anyone reads them . [ a small drawing of the path turning out of sight ] . Tomorrow : clouds in the morning , then clear . That evening , down at Hut One , Pau arrived with Cebolla and the next day 's bread . He found Daniel still at the register table , writing . Daniel looked up and asked : would Pau reach Hut Two before the morning hiker left ? Then he said : " I carry bread . Daniel gave him the page . In the morning , Pau set the bread on the table at Hut Two . Under the loaf was Daniel 's page , folded once . Elsa found it with her breakfast . That evening , she opened the register again . I know because I was not moving and it still looked directly at me , which means it had already found me . I did not move for four minutes . [ a small drawing of a fox sitting , looking back ] . Daniel arrived at Hut Two after dark — late because of a bowl of porridge with honey and four pieces of toast , which he would defend under any questioning . He read her answer and understood : the channel was open . Pau was already gone , with tomorrow 's bread .
