Sisi yang Sunyi
Across a stream, the old half of the salt pans has gone back to the birds; Polly stands among little egrets and learns the salt workers' winter saying.

Sebuah sungai kecil membagi ladang garam. Di seberangnya ada bagian yang tua. Sekarang tidak ada yang membuat garam di sana. Tumbuhan rendah tumbuh di kolam-kolam tua. Deretan rumah batu tua berdiri di tepi kanal.
Sekarang burung-burung tinggal di sini. Polly berjalan masuk ke sebuah kolam dangkal. Kuntul-kuntul putih dengan kaki hitam yang panjang berdiri di sekelilingnya. Polly berdiri sangat diam. Hampir tiga ratus jenis burung datang ke ladang garam ini.
Di sebuah rumah tua ada museum kecil. Polly melihat garu kayu tua, keranjang, dan gayung.
Para petani garam berkata, garam dibuat di musim dingin. Pada musim dingin mereka memperbaiki dinding dan saluran. Lalu musim panas bisa membawa garam. Polly berpikir ini ladang yang sangat sabar.
That's the story.
