Hospoda v Kirkwallu měla pět stolů a oheň. Polly si sedla blízko tepla. „Můžu vidět jídelní lístek?“ zeptala se. Na kartě bylo jen pár jídel.
„Mohla byste mi doporučit nějaké dobré jídlo?“ Majitelkou byla volavka. Řekla bannock. Bere je ječmen, který se tu pěstuje stovky let. Roste rychle, v krátkém létě.
„Máte vegetariánská jídla?“ zeptala se Polly. Volavka ukázala na stejný řádek. Bannock, máslo a měkký sýr.
„Můžeme zaplatit, prosím?“ řekla Polly. Volavka si dala načas, což je dobré znamení. Venku bylo skoro bezvětří. Polly šla nahoru k červené katedrále.
That's the story.
