Torni kahden meren välissä
Polly climbs the one hundred and forty-six wooden steps of Piran's bell tower, a small copy of the one in Venice, and sees the town lying between a sea of water and a sea of salt.

Polly palasi kaupunkiin. Mäellä seisoo korkea kellotorni kirkon vieressä. Se on kopio Venetsian kuuluisasta tornista. Se rakennettiin yli neljäsataa vuotta sitten.
Tornissa on sataneljäkymmentäkuusi puista porrasta. Polly hyppi ylös joka portaan. Ylhäällä riippuivat isot kellot. Tuuli tuoksui suolalta.
Kaupunki oli hänen allaan. Oranssit katot laskeutuivat merelle asti. Valkoinen aukio loisti kuin pieni kuu. Toisella puolella oli vain sinistä merta.
Toisella puolella, kaukana, suola-altaat loistivat valkoisina. Vettä toisella puolella, suolaa toisella. Lokki oli oikeassa. Suola rakensi tämän kaupungin.
That's the story.
