Tiha strana

Mali potok dijeli soline. S druge strane je stari dio. Ondje nitko više ne proizvodi sol. U starim bazenima raste nisko bilje. Uz kanale stoje nizovi starih kamenih kuća.

A small stream divides the salt pans. On the other side is the old part. No one makes salt there now. Low plants grow in the old pools. Rows of old stone houses stand by the canals.

Sada ovdje žive ptice. Polly je ušla u plitki bazen. Oko nje su stajale bijele čaplje s dugim crnim nogama. Polly je stajala posve mirno. U ove soline dolazi gotovo tristo vrsta ptica.

Now the birds live here. Polly walked into a shallow pool. White egrets with long black legs stood around her. Polly stood very still. Nearly three hundred kinds of birds come to these pans.

U jednoj staroj kući nalazi se mali muzej. Polly je vidjela stare drvene grablje, košare i lopate.

In an old house there is a small museum. Polly saw old wooden rakes, baskets and scoops.

Radnici kažu: sol se stvara zimi. Zimi popravljaju zidove i kanale. Tada ljeto može donijeti sol. Polly je mislila da je to vrlo strpljiva farma.

The salt workers say, salt is made in winter. In winter they fix the walls and the channels. Then summer can bring the salt. Polly thought it was a very patient farm.
