    Vocabulary

    • wierzyć — to believe (3rd sg. present: wierzy)
    • wieża — tower (locative: wieży)
    • leżeć — to lie, to rest (3rd sg. present: leży)
    • gniazdo — nest
    • nietoperz — bat (genitive pl.: nietoperzy)

    Grammar note

    'Gniazdo nietoperzy' — 'nietoperzy' is genitive plural of 'nietoperz'. 'Leży' here means the nest is situated/resting on the tower. Compare with the jeż version: same structure, different animals.
