Mesto na útese

Polly letí na juh pozdĺž pobrežia Korziky. Potom sa ostrov skončí. Pred ňou je len more. Ďaleko vidí ďalší ostrov.

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.

Polly sa otočí a vidí mesto. Mesto stojí na vysokom bielom útese. Domy sú vysoké a úzke. Stoja priamo na okraji. Pod nimi útes padá hlboko dolu k moru.

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.

Polly pristane na starej hradbe a pozrie sa dolu. Skala je biela a suchá. Pod ňou lietajú čajky. Potom uvidí niečo zvláštne. V útese je úzka ryha. V ryhe sú schody.

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.

Schody idú dolu do tmy. Polly nevidí, kde končia. Polly tam pôjde dolu.

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