Ang Pagtitipon sa mga Batuhan
Grey seals are hauling out on the low rocks before the pupping season, and the questions Polly has been taught to ask about families turn out to be the wrong shape for them.

Maikli ang biyahe ng bangka papunta sa mga bato. Mababa at basa ang mga bato. Nakahiga ang mga kulay-abong seal sa buong ibabaw ng mga ito. Wala silang ginagawa.
Pumili si Polly ng malaking seal. "Ilan kayo sa inyong pamilya?" tanong niya. Matagal itong nag-isip. Lahat ng nasa batong ito, sabi nito. At lahat ng nasa kasunod.
"May mga kapatid ka ba?" Halos tiyak, sabi nito. Hindi niya alam kung sino sa kanila. May mga dalawampu't dalawang libong anak ng seal sa Orkney bawat taon.
Sumubok si Polly ng isang parirala. "Gusto kong makasama ang aking pamilya ngayong araw." Kakaiba ang dating nito rito. Pagkatapos ay sinubukan niya, "Kahit malayo kami sa isa't isa, palagi kaming nagkakamustahan." Mas malapit iyon, sabi ng seal.
That's the story.
