Inside the cave, fresh water comes out of the rock. Polly tastes it. It is cold and sweet. The sea is right there, but this water is not salty.
Rain falls on the land above. The rock up there is limestone. The water sinks into it. It travels down inside the stone and comes out here.
Now Polly understands the steps. Soldiers did not make them in one night. Monks made them, slowly, for many years. They wanted this water.
