A capela de Lamb Holm são dois barracões do exército juntos. Um zelador estava a abrir a porta. "Qual é o seu trabalho?", perguntou-lhe ela. Ele abria as portas de manhã e fechava-as à noite.
Lá dentro, esquecemos os barracões. Prisioneiros italianos vieram para aqui nos anos quarenta. Pediram um sítio para rezar. Deram-lhes barracões de metal. Eles fizeram um teto pintado e uma grade de ferro.
"De que precisa para terminar o trabalho?" Pediram cimento. Deram-lhes cimento. Tudo o resto veio do lixo. Os castiçais são latas velhas.
Uma pequena ferramenta estava no parapeito. "Pode mostrar-me como se usa esta ferramenta?", perguntou Polly. Ele mostrou. "Pode explicar outra vez?" Ele explicou.
That's the story.
