Starý príbeh

Polly sa znova pozerá na schody zblízka. Sú veľmi strmé, skoro ako rebrík. Každý schod je trochu iný. Zoskočí o pár schodov nižšie.

Up close Polly looks at the steps again. They are very steep, almost like a ladder. Every step is a little different. She hops down the first few.

O schodoch je starý príbeh. Ľudia hovoria, že kedysi dávno prišli vojaci a chceli napadnúť mesto. Hovoria, že vojaci vysekali všetky schody za jednu noc.

There is an old story about the steps. People say that soldiers came to attack the town long ago. They say the soldiers cut all the steps in one night.

Je to dobrý príbeh. Ale asi nie je pravdivý. Dvesto schodov sa do tvrdej skaly za jednu noc vysekať nedá. A boli tu stráže. Videli by tú prácu.

It is a good story. But it is probably not true. You cannot cut two hundred steps into hard rock in one night. And there were guards here. They would see the work.

Polly si sadne na schod. Pod ňou preletí veľký morský vták. Letí veľmi nízko nad vodou. Nemáva krídlami.

Polly sits down on a step. A big seabird flies past below her. It flies very low over the water. It does not move its wings.
