Penginapan itu berdiri di atas pelabuhan. Pintunya ada di sisi yang terlindung. Seekor domba menjaga rumah itu. Polly berdiri di lorong, basah karena hujan. "Apakah ada kamar yang tersedia?"
Kamar memang ada. Polly berkata, "Saya ingin kamar yang tenang." Domba itu diam sejenak. Angin menemukan semua kamar di sini.
"Bisakah Anda membantu saya dengan koper saya?" Domba itu membawa tas ke atas. Ia meletakkannya di dekat sebuah kursi. Rangkanya dari kayu apung, karena tidak ada pohon di sini. Sandarannya dari jerami.
"Jam berapa waktu check-out?" tanya Polly. Di sini kapal yang menentukan segalanya. Lalu ia duduk di kursi itu. Jerami itu menahan udara dingin.
That's the story.
