Mga Bukid ng Puting Tubig
Polly follows the coast south to the salt pans of Sečovlje, where sea water dries into white salt and is raked by hand as it has been for more than seven hundred years.

Lumipad si Polly patimog sa tabi ng baybayin. Sa tabi ng maliit na ilog, patag ang lupa. May daan-daang mababaw na lawa sa tabi ng dagat. Kumikinang ang bawat lawa na parang salamin. Ito ang mga asinan ng Sečovlje. Mahigit pitong daang taon nang gumagawa ng asin ang mga tao rito.
Pumapasok ang tubig-dagat sa mga lawa. Sa buong tag-init, kinukuha ng araw ang tubig. Naiiwan ang asin. Lumusong si Polly sa isang lawa. Mainit at maalat ang tubig.
Itinutulak ng mga mag-aasin ang mahahabang kalaykay na kahoy sa tubig. Nagiging maliliit na burol ang puting asin. Kamay ang gamit nila, gaya noong unang panahon.
Ipinakita sa kanya ng isang mag-aasin ang sahig ng lawa. Madilim at makinis ito, parang balat. Pinananatili nito sa ilalim ang putik, kaya nananatiling puti ang asin.
That's the story.
