Veža medzi dvoma morami

Polly sa vrátila do mesta. Na kopci stojí vysoká zvonica vedľa kostola. Je to kópia slávnej veže v Benátkach. Postavili ju pred viac ako štyristo rokmi.

Polly went back to town. On the hill stands a tall bell tower next to the church. It is a copy of the famous tower in Venice. It was built more than four hundred years ago.

Vnútri je sto štyridsaťšesť drevených schodov. Polly vyskákala hore po všetkých schodoch. Hore viseli veľké zvony. Vietor voňal soľou.

Inside there are one hundred and forty-six wooden steps. Polly hopped up every step. At the top hung the big bells. The wind smelled of salt.

Mesto ležalo pod ňou. Oranžové strechy sa spúšťali k moru. Biele námestie svietilo ako malý mesiac. Na jednej strane bolo len modré more.

The town lay below her. Orange roofs ran down to the sea. The white square shone like a little moon. On one side there was only blue sea.

Na druhej strane, ďaleko, sa beleli soliny. Voda na jednej strane, soľ na druhej. Čajka mala pravdu. Soľ postavila toto mesto.

On the other side, far away, the salt pans shone white. Water on one side, salt on the other. The gull was right. Salt built this town.
