Tiha stran

Majhen potok deli soline na dva dela. Na drugi strani je stari del. Tam nihče več ne dela soli. V starih bazenih rastejo nizke rastline. Ob kanalih stojijo vrste starih kamnitih hiš.

A small stream divides the salt pans. On the other side is the old part. No one makes salt there now. Low plants grow in the old pools. Rows of old stone houses stand by the canals.

Zdaj tu živijo ptice. Polly je stopila v plitev bazen. Okrog nje so stale bele čaplje z dolgimi črnimi nogami. Polly je stala čisto pri miru. V te soline pride skoraj tristo vrst ptic.

Now the birds live here. Polly walked into a shallow pool. White egrets with long black legs stood around her. Polly stood very still. Nearly three hundred kinds of birds come to these pans.

V stari hiši je majhen muzej. Polly je videla stare lesene grablje, košare in zajemalke.

In an old house there is a small museum. Polly saw old wooden rakes, baskets and scoops.

Solinarji pravijo: sol se dela pozimi. Pozimi popravljajo zidove in kanale. Potem lahko poletje prinese sol. Polly je mislila, da je to zelo potrpežljiva kmetija.

The salt workers say, salt is made in winter. In winter they fix the walls and the channels. Then summer can bring the salt. Polly thought it was a very patient farm.
