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.

Soliny delí malý potok. Na druhej strane je stará časť. Nikto tam už soľ nerobí. V starých bazénoch rastú nízke rastliny. Pri kanáloch stoja rady starých kamenných domov.
Teraz tu žijú vtáky. Polly vošla do plytkého bazéna. Okolo nej stáli biele beluše s dlhými čiernymi nohami. Polly stála úplne nehybne. Do týchto solín prilieta takmer tristo druhov vtákov.
V jednom starom dome je malé múzeum. Polly videla staré drevené hrable, koše a lopaty.
Solinári hovoria: soľ sa robí v zime. V zime opravujú hrádze a kanály. Potom môže leto priniesť soľ. Polly si pomyslela, že je to veľmi trpezlivá farma.
That's the story.
