Meli Yawasili Bandarini

Meli ya asubuhi ilifika Stromness. Polly alikanyaga jiwe lenye maji. Upepo haukusimama. Mbwa alikaa kwenye gati. "Waweza kunionyesha njia?"

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?"

Bado hakujua aende wapi. Kuna visiwa kama sabini. Ni kama ishirini tu vyenye watu. "Je, waweza kuniambia mahali ninapoweza kupanda basi?" akauliza.

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.

"Inachukua muda gani kutembea hadi katikati ya jiji?" Mbwa akaitazama barabara ile moja nyembamba. Dakika kumi na moja, akasema.

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

"Waweza kuniambia kama kuna matukio yoyote ya kuvutia leo?" Nyakati za meli ndizo habari hapa, akasema. Kuna kanisa dogo lililojengwa na wafungwa. Kuna kijiji chini ya mchanga.

"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.
