Polly starts down the steps and hears a story about them.

ポリーは近くで、もう一度階段を見ます。階段はとても急です。まるではしごのようです。どの段も少しずつちがいます。ポリーは最初の何段かを降ります。
この階段には古い話があります。むかし、兵士たちが町をせめに来たそうです。兵士たちは一晩で階段を全部ほったそうです。
おもしろい話です。でも、たぶん本当ではありません。かたい岩に二百段の階段を一晩でほることはできません。それに、ここには見張りがいました。見張りがその仕事を見たはずです。
ポリーは段にすわります。大きな海鳥がポリーの下を飛んでいきます。鳥は海の上をとても低く飛びます。つばさを動かしません。
That's the story.
