Polly finds fresh water at the bottom of the cliff.

Het laatste stuk van de trap is anders. De rots is nu nat. Hij is donker en koud. Onderaan is een kleine grot.
In de grot komt zoet water uit de rots. Polly proeft het. Het is koud en zoet. De zee is heel dichtbij, maar dit water is niet zout.
Regen valt op het land boven. De rots daar is kalksteen. Het water zakt erin. Het gaat door de steen naar beneden en komt hier naar buiten.
Nu begrijpt Polly de trap. Soldaten hebben hem niet in één nacht gemaakt. Monniken hebben hem gemaakt, langzaam, heel veel jaren lang. Ze wilden dit water.
That's the story.
