悬崖上的小城

波莉沿着科西嘉岛的海岸往南飞。然后，岛没有了。她前面只有大海。很远的地方，她能看到另一座岛。

Polly flies south along the coast of Corsica. Then the island ends. In front of her there is only sea. Far away she can see another island.

波莉转过身，看到一座小城。小城在一座很高的白色悬崖上。房子又高又窄。它们就在悬崖边上。房子下面，悬崖一直往下，下面是大海。

Polly turns and sees a town. The town stands on a high white cliff. The houses are tall and narrow. They stand right at the edge. Below them the cliff falls a long way down to the sea.

波莉落在老城墙上，往下看。石头是白色的，很干。海鸥在她下面飞。然后她看到一样奇怪的东西。悬崖上有一条窄窄的线。线里面有台阶。

Polly lands on the old town wall and looks down. The rock is white and dry. Gulls fly below her. Then she sees something strange. There is a narrow line cut into the cliff. Inside the line there are steps.

台阶往下，一直到黑暗里。波莉看不到台阶的尽头。波莉要下去。

The steps go down into the dark. Polly cannot see the end of them. Polly will go down there.
