Nyumba ya wageni ilisimama juu ya bandari. Mlango wake ulikuwa upande usio na upepo. Kondoo ndiye aliyeitunza nyumba. Polly alisimama ukumbini, amelowa na mvua. "Je, mna vyumba vinavyopatikana?"
Vyumba vilikuwepo. Polly akasema, "Ningependa chumba chenye utulivu, tafadhali." Kondoo akasubiri kidogo. Upepo huyapata vyumba vyote hapa.
"Je, waweza kunisaidia na mizigo yangu, tafadhali?" Kondoo alibeba mfuko hadi juu. Akauweka kando ya kiti. Kiunzi chake kilikuwa cha mbao za baharini, kwa sababu hakuna mti unaokua hapa. Mgongo wake ulikuwa wa majani makavu.
"Muda wa kuondoka chumbani ni saa ngapi?" Polly akauliza. Meli huamua kila kitu hapa. Kisha akaketi kwenye kiti. Majani yalizuia upepo baridi.
That's the story.
