O Anel de Brodgar fica entre dois lagos. As pedras formam um círculo com cerca de cento e quatro metros de diâmetro. Foi construído há cerca de quatro mil anos.
Houve cerca de sessenta pedras. Hoje estão de pé trinta e seis. Polly deu a volta por fora. Ninguém escreveu por que está ali o círculo.
Depois foi a hora de partir. No escritório do porto havia um corvo-marinho atrás de um balcão. "A que horas parte o ferry?", perguntou Polly. "Quanto custa isto?" Depois disse: "Queria comprar um bilhete, por favor."
"Quanto tempo demora a travessia?", perguntou por fim. De manhã, o barco saiu ao largo do promontório baixo. As ilhas foram ficando para trás, uma a uma.
That's the story.
