    Translation

    Jerzy is lying next to the tower and doesn't believe that yet another Jerzy is lying on the tower.

    Vocabulary

    • leżeć — to lie, to be lying (3rd sg. present: leży)
    • obok — next to, beside (+ genitive)
    • wieża — tower (genitive: wieży)
    • jeszcze jeden — yet another, one more

    Grammar note

    'Obok wieży' — 'obok' takes the genitive, so 'wieży' here is genitive, not locative (same form for this noun). 'Na wieży' in the subordinate clause is locative. Same word, two different cases.
