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.

Tumingin si Polly sa loob ng isang malaking bunganga. Napakatanda at napakalaki nito. May dalawang lawa sa loob. May piraso ng lupa sa gitna. Asul ang isang lawa. Berde ang isa.

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.

Magkadugtong ang dalawang lawa sa ilalim ng lupa. Pero magkaiba sila ng anyo. Malalim ang asul na lawa at sinasalamin nito ang langit. Malapit sa halaman ang berdeng lawa, kaya berde ito.

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.

Mababang lumipad si Polly sa lupa sa gitna. May nakita siyang bangka sa isang panig. May nakita siyang baka sa kabila. Dumating ang hamog at tinakpan ang mga lawa.

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

Naghintay siya sa lumang pader. Umalis ang hamog. Naroon pa rin ang dalawang lawa, asul at berde.
