九十天的谷子

柯克沃尔那家酒馆有五张桌子和一炉火。波莉坐在靠近火的地方。“可以看一下菜单吗？”她问。卡片上只有几样东西。

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.

“你能推荐一道好菜吗？”老板是一只苍鹭。她说吃烤饼。贝尔大麦是这里种了几百年的一种大麦。它长得快，一个短短的夏天就够了。

"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.

“你们有素食可以选吗？”波莉问。苍鹭指着同一行。烤饼、黄油和软奶酪。

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

“可以结账吗？”波莉说。苍鹭拿得很慢，这是个好兆头。外面的风几乎停了。波莉往上走，走到红色的大教堂那里。

"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.
