"Pode dizer-me como se chega lá?", perguntou Polly ao pequeno-almoço. Siga a estrada da costa para oeste, disse a ovelha. A aldeia fica atrás de uma baía de areia clara.
Um ostraceiro estava no sítio. Polly perguntou: "Gostava de saber a história deste monumento." Viveu aqui gente há cinco mil anos, disse ele. Depois a areia cobriu a aldeia.
O vento levou metade das palavras dele. "Pode repetir, por favor?", pediu Polly. Todas as casas são iguais por dentro. Uma lareira ao meio. Camas de cada lado. Uma prateleira de pedra na parede.
"Pode dizer-me se o museu está aberto amanhã?", perguntou Polly. Sabia que ia voltar. Ficou muito tempo a olhar para uma divisão.
That's the story.
