Klippen, der forlod

Polly går videre ned. Hun ser en høj klippe i vandet. Den står alene. Bølger bryder hvide om den.

Polly goes further down. She sees a tall rock in the water. It stands alone. Waves break white around it.

For lang tid siden var klippen en del af skrænten. Så tog bølgerne stenen under den. Nu står den alene i havet. Den er tynd forneden.

Long ago that rock was part of the cliff. Then the waves took away the stone under it. Now it stands alone in the sea. It is thin at the bottom.

En måge flyver forbi. Denne måge følger ikke efter både. Den tager ikke mad fra folk. Den fanger sin egen fisk i havet.

A gull flies past. This gull does not follow boats. It does not take food from people. It catches its own fish in the sea.

Mågen flyver væk. Polly kigger på pladsen mellem klippen og skrænten. Den plads var sten før.

The gull flies away. Polly looks at the space between the rock and the cliff. That space was stone before.
