Vytesaná jaskyňa

Polly letela späť dolu k moru. Na úpätí útesu, presne pri hladine vody, sa v skale otvárala tmavá jaskyňa. Ľudia ju volajú Cova Tallada, vytesaná jaskyňa.

Polly flew back down towards the sea. At the bottom of the cliff, right at the waterline, a dark cave opened in the rock. People call it the Cova Tallada, the carved cave.

Vnútri boli steny zvláštne rovné a hladké. Kedysi dávno ľudia vysekávali túto skalu ručne, kus po kuse. Polly na kameni stále videla stopy po ich starých nástrojoch.

Inside, the walls were strangely flat and straight. Long ago, people cut this stone out by hand, block by block. Polly could still see the marks their old tools had left in the rock.

Kameň okolo nej žiaril teplou zlatistou farbou. Polovica jaskyne bola z pevnej skaly a druhá polovica bola čisté modré more, ktoré sa jemne vlnilo dnu a von.

The stone around her glowed warm and golden. Half of the cave was solid rock, and the other half was clear blue sea that moved gently in and out.

Cez ústie jaskyne prenikalo svetlo a tancovalo po vode aj po stenách. Polly sa krídlom dotkla chladného kameňa. Chcela si zapamätať farbu tejto zlatistej skaly.

Light came in through the mouth of the cave and danced across the water and the walls. Polly touched the cool stone with her wing. She wanted to remember the colour of this golden rock.
