Nafaka ya Siku Tisini

Baa ya Kirkwall ilikuwa na meza tano na moto. Polly akakaa karibu na joto. "Naweza kuona menyu?" akauliza. Kulikuwa na vitu vichache tu kwenye karatasi.

The bar in Kirkwall had five tables and a fire. Polly sat near the heat. "Can I see the menu?" she asked. There were only a few things on the card.

"Waweza kunipendekezea chakula kizuri?" Mmiliki alikuwa korongo. Akasema bannock. Bere ni shayiri iliyolimwa hapa kwa mamia ya miaka. Hukua haraka, katika kiangazi kifupi.

"Could you recommend a good dish?" The owner was a heron. She said the bannock. Bere is a barley grown here for hundreds of years. It grows fast, in a short summer.

"Je, mna vyakula vya mboga?" Polly akauliza. Korongo akaonyesha mstari uleule. Bannock, siagi na jibini laini.

"Do you have vegetarian options?" Polly asked. The heron pointed at the same line. Bannock, butter and soft cheese.

"Tafadhali, tunaweza kupata bili?" Polly akasema. Korongo akachukua muda wake, jambo ambalo ni ishara nzuri. Nje, upepo ulikuwa karibu kutulia. Polly akatembea hadi kanisa kuu jekundu.

"Can we get the bill, please?" Polly said. The heron took her time, which is a good sign. Outside, the wind was almost calm. Polly walked up to the red cathedral.
