(The expected word *waterman, the cognate of the German word Wassermann, is not attested in English in this sense, probably because unlike mermen, the *watermen live only in fresh water and thus never crossed the English Channel.)
Although in this country is generally known that the *waterman likes to sit on a poplar along rocks, here he is sitting directly on the rock. But do not fear, you need not abseil to his seat, our container of volume 3000 ml is hidden in safe distance from the cliff edge.
(If you are interested in *watermen, you can see the whole family of them in life-size only 4.4 km (as the crow flies) from here, in Kostelec nad Vltavou at N49° 30.038 ' E14° 12.592').
I když je všeobecne známo, že vodník s oblibou sedává na topole podle skal, tady sedí prímo na skále. Ale nebojte se, nemusíte k jeho sedátku slanovat, naše schránka o objemu 3000 ml je ukryta v bezpecné vzdálenosti od okraje útesu.
(Pokud se o vodníky zajímáte, mužete si prohlédnot celou vodnickou rodinu v životní velikosti pouhých 4,4 km (vzdušnou carou) odsud, v Kostelci nad Vltavou na N49° 30.038' E14° 12.592' (S42: 3442.892 5485.747)).
