Stolp med dvema morjema

Polly se je vrnila v mesto. Na hribu stoji visok zvonik poleg cerkve. Je kopija slavnega stolpa v Benetkah. Zgradili so ga pred več kot štiristo leti.

Polly went back to town. On the hill stands a tall bell tower next to the church. It is a copy of the famous tower in Venice. It was built more than four hundred years ago.

V notranjosti je sto šestinštirideset lesenih stopnic. Polly je skakala gor, stopnico za stopnico. Na vrhu so viseli veliki zvonovi. Veter je dišal po soli.

Inside there are one hundred and forty-six wooden steps. Polly hopped up every step. At the top hung the big bells. The wind smelled of salt.

Mesto je ležalo pod njo. Oranžne strehe so se spuščale do morja. Bel trg je sijal kot majhna luna. Na eni strani je bilo samo modro morje.

The town lay below her. Orange roofs ran down to the sea. The white square shone like a little moon. On one side there was only blue sea.

Na drugi strani so daleč stran belo sijale soline. Na eni strani voda, na drugi sol. Galeb je imel prav. Sol je zgradila to mesto.

On the other side, far away, the salt pans shone white. Water on one side, salt on the other. The gull was right. Salt built this town.
