Kornet på halvfems dage

Baren i Kirkwall havde fem borde og en pejs. Polly satte sig nær varmen. "Må jeg se menuen?" spurgte hun. Der var kun få ting på kortet.

The bar in Kirkwall had five tables and a fire. Polly sat near the heat. "Can I see the menu?" she asked. There were only a few things on the card.

"Kan du anbefale en god ret?" Værten var en hejre. Hun sagde bannock. Bere er en byg, der er dyrket her i hundreder af år. Den vokser hurtigt, i en kort sommer.

"Could you recommend a good dish?" The owner was a heron. She said the bannock. Bere is a barley grown here for hundreds of years. It grows fast, in a short summer.

"Har I vegetariske retter?" spurgte Polly. Hejren pegede på den samme linje. Bannock, smør og blød ost.

"Do you have vegetarian options?" Polly asked. The heron pointed at the same line. Bannock, butter and soft cheese.

"Må vi bede om regningen?" sagde Polly. Hejren tog sig god tid, hvilket er et godt tegn. Udenfor var vinden næsten stille. Polly gik op til den røde katedral.

"Can we get the bill, please?" Polly said. The heron took her time, which is a good sign. Outside, the wind was almost calm. Polly walked up to the red cathedral.
