Bar di Kirkwall punya lima meja dan sebuah perapian. Polly duduk dekat api. "Boleh saya lihat menunya?" tanyanya. Hanya ada beberapa pilihan di kartu.
"Bisakah Anda merekomendasikan hidangan yang enak?" Pemiliknya seekor bangau. Ia berkata bannock. Bere adalah jelai yang sudah ditanam di sini selama ratusan tahun. Jelai itu tumbuh cepat, dalam musim panas yang pendek.
"Apakah ada pilihan vegetarian?" tanya Polly. Bangau itu menunjuk baris yang sama. Bannock, mentega, dan keju lembut.
"Boleh kami minta bonnya?" kata Polly. Bangau itu membawanya dengan santai, dan itu tanda yang baik. Di luar, angin hampir tenang. Polly berjalan naik ke katedral merah.
That's the story.
