Ladja pripluje

Jutranja ladja je pristala v Stromnessu. Polly je stopila na moker kamen. Veter ni ponehal. Na pomolu je sedel ovčar."Mi lahko pokažete pot?"

The morning boat tied up at Stromness. Polly stepped onto wet stone. The wind did not stop. A collie sat on the pier. "Can you show me the way?"

Še ni vedela, kam naj gre. Otokov je približno sedemdeset. Ljudje živijo samo na kakih dvajsetih."Mi lahko poveste, kje dobim avtobus?"je vprašala.

She did not know where to go yet. There are about seventy islands. Only about twenty have people. "Could you tell me where I can catch a bus?" she asked.

"Koliko časa traja peš do centra mesta?"Ovčar je pogledal ozko ulico. Enajst minut, je rekel.

"How long does it take to walk to the city center?" The collie looked at the one narrow street. Eleven minutes, he said.

"Mi lahko poveste, ali je danes kakšen zanimiv dogodek?"Časi ladij so tukaj novice, je rekel. Tu je kapela, ki so jo zgradili ujetniki. Tu je vas pod peskom.

"Can you tell me if there are any interesting events today?" The boat times are the news here, he said. There is a chapel built by prisoners. There is a village under the sand.
