Krčma v Kirkwalle mala päť stolov a oheň. Polly si sadla blízko k teplu. "Môžem vidieť jedálny lístok?" spýtala sa. Na karte bolo len pár jedál.
"Mohli by ste mi odporučiť dobré jedlo?" Majiteľkou bola volavka. Povedala bannock. Bere je jačmeň, ktorý tu pestujú stovky rokov. Rastie rýchlo, počas krátkeho leta.
"Máte vegetariánske jedlá?" spýtala sa Polly. Volavka ukázala na ten istý riadok. Bannock, maslo a mäkký syr.
"Môžeme dostať účet, prosím?" povedala Polly. Volavka si dala načas, čo je dobré znamenie. Vonku bol vietor takmer tichý. Polly vyšla hore k červenej katedrále.
That's the story.
