On a hot still evening, thin crystals bloom on the surface of the brine, and Polly watches the finest salt of all being lifted with a net on a wooden frame.

Mainit ang araw at walang hangin. Pagsapit ng gabi, patag at tahimik ang mga lawa. Tumayo si Polly sa gilid ng isang lawa at naghintay.
Pagkatapos, may maninipis at puting kristal na tumubo sa ibabaw ng tubig. Mukha silang yelo. Tinatawag ito ng mga mag-aasin na bulaklak ng asin. Dumarating lamang ito sa mga tahimik at mainit na araw. Ito ang pinakapinong asin sa lahat.
Dumating ang isang mag-aasin na may pinong lambat sa isang mahabang balangkas na kahoy. Napakaingat niyang inangat ang mga puting bulaklak. Umupo si Polly sa dulo ng balangkas at nanood.
Lumubog ang araw. Naging rosas at kahel ang mga lawa. May isang maliit na kristal sa balahibo ni Polly. Tinikman niya ito. Lasang dagat at araw ito.
That's the story.
