Dibangun dari Apa yang Ada
On Lamb Holm, two army huts hold a chapel that prisoners of war made out of scrap, and the only honest question to ask about it is a question about work.

Kapel di Lamb Holm adalah dua barak tentara yang disambung. Seorang penjaga sedang membukanya. "Apa pekerjaan Anda?" tanya Polly. Ia membuka pintu pada pagi hari dan menutupnya pada malam hari.
Di dalam, orang lupa pada barak itu. Tawanan Italia datang ke sini pada tahun seribu sembilan ratus empat puluhan. Mereka meminta tempat untuk berdoa. Mereka diberi barak logam. Mereka membuat langit-langit yang dilukis dan sekat besi.
"Apa yang Anda butuhkan untuk menyelesaikan pekerjaan ini?" Mereka meminta semen. Mereka mendapat semen. Selebihnya berasal dari sampah. Tempat lilinnya kaleng bekas.
Sebuah alat kecil ada di ambang jendela. "Bisakah Anda menunjukkan cara memakai alat ini?" tanya Polly. Ia menunjukkannya. "Bisakah Anda menjelaskannya sekali lagi?" Ia mengulanginya.
That's the story.
