One Crater, Two Colors

Polly looked down into a huge crater. It was very old and very big. It held two lakes. A strip of land crossed the middle. One lake was blue. The other lake was green.

Polly alitazama chini ndani ya kreta kubwa. Ilikuwa ya zamani sana na kubwa sana. Ilikuwa na maziwa mawili. Ukanda wa ardhi ulivuka katikati. Ziwa moja lilikuwa buluu. Ziwa lingine lilikuwa kijani.

The two lakes are joined under the land. But they look different. The blue lake is deep and shows the sky. The green lake is near plants, so it looks green.

Maziwa hayo mawili yameunganishwa chini ya ardhi. Lakini yanaonekana tofauti. Ziwa la buluu lina kina na linaonyesha anga. Ziwa la kijani lipo karibu na mimea, kwa hiyo linaonekana kijani.

Polly flew low over the strip of land. She saw boats on one side. She saw cows on the other side. Fog came in and covered the lakes.

Polly aliruka chini juu ya ukanda wa ardhi. Aliona mashua upande mmoja. Aliona ng'ombe upande mwingine. Ukungu uliingia na kufunika maziwa.

She waited on an old wall. The fog went away. Both lakes were still there, blue and green.

Alisubiri juu ya ukuta wa zamani. Ukungu uliondoka. Maziwa yote mawili yalikuwa bado pale, buluu na kijani.
