The Rock That Left

Polly goes further down. She sees a tall rock in the water. It stands alone. Waves break white around it.

Polly går videre ned. Hun ser en høj klippe i vandet. Den står alene. Bølger bryder hvide om den.

Long ago that rock was part of the cliff. Then the waves took away the stone under it. Now it stands alone in the sea. It is thin at the bottom.

For lang tid siden var klippen en del af skrænten. Så tog bølgerne stenen under den. Nu står den alene i havet. Den er tynd forneden.

A gull flies past. This gull does not follow boats. It does not take food from people. It catches its own fish in the sea.

En måge flyver forbi. Denne måge følger ikke efter både. Den tager ikke mad fra folk. Den fanger sin egen fisk i havet.

The gull flies away. Polly looks at the space between the rock and the cliff. That space was stone before.

Mågen flyver væk. Polly kigger på pladsen mellem klippen og skrænten. Den plads var sten før.
