    Translation

    Jerzy is lying on a tower and doesn't believe that he is lying on a tower.

    Vocabulary

    • leżeć — to lie, to be lying (3rd sg. present: leży)
    • wieża — tower (locative: wieży)
    • wierzyć — to believe (3rd sg. present: wierzy)

    Grammar note

    'Na wieży' is locative after 'na'. The subordinate clause 'że leży na wieży' has an implicit subject — it refers back to Jerzy himself, making the sentence self-referentially absurd.
