Bunga Garam
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.

Hari itu panas dan tidak berangin. Menjelang malam, kolam-kolam rata dan sunyi. Polly berdiri di tepi sebuah kolam dan menunggu.
Lalu kristal putih yang tipis tumbuh di atas air. Kristal itu tampak seperti bunga es. Para petani menyebutnya bunga garam. Bunga garam hanya datang pada hari yang tenang dan hangat. Inilah garam yang paling halus.
Seorang petani datang dengan jaring halus pada bingkai kayu yang panjang. Ia mengangkat bunga-bunga putih itu dengan sangat lembut. Polly duduk di ujung bingkai dan melihat.
Matahari terbenam. Kolam-kolam berubah merah muda dan jingga. Sebutir kristal kecil ada di bulu Polly. Ia mencicipinya. Rasanya seperti laut dan matahari.
That's the story.
