Bygget af det, de havde

Kapellet på Lamb Holm er to militærbarakker sat sammen. En opsynsmand var ved at åbne. "Hvad arbejder du med?" spurgte hun ham. Han åbnede dørene om morgenen og lukkede dem om aftenen.

The chapel on Lamb Holm is two army huts joined together. A caretaker was opening it. "What is your job?" she asked him. He opened the doors in the morning and closed them at night.

Indenfor glemmer man barakkerne. Italienske fanger kom hertil i nittenhundredefyrrerne. De bad om et sted at bede. De fik barakker af metal. De lavede et malet loft og et gitter af jern.

Inside, you forget the huts. Italian prisoners came here in the nineteen forties. They asked for a place to pray. They were given metal huts. They made a painted ceiling and an iron screen.

"Hvad mangler du for at gøre arbejdet færdigt?" De bad om cement. De fik cement. Alt andet kom fra affald. Lysestagerne er gamle dåser.

"What do you need to complete the work?" They asked for cement. They got cement. Everything else came from rubbish. The candle holders are old tins.

Et lille værktøj lå i vindueskarmen. "Kunne du vise mig, hvordan man bruger dette værktøj?" spurgte Polly. Han viste hende det. "Kunne du forklare det igen?" Det gjorde han.

A small tool sat on the sill. "Could you show me how to use this tool?" Polly asked. He showed her. "Could you explain that again?" He did.
