Built From What They Had

The chapel on Lamb Holm is two army huts joined together. A caretaker was opening it. "What is your job?" she asked him. He opened the doors in the morning and closed them at night.

Kapelica na otočiću Lamb Holm dvije su vojne barake spojene zajedno. Čuvar ju je otvarao. „Čime se bavite?” pitala ga je. Ujutro otvara vrata, a navečer ih zatvara.

Inside, you forget the huts. Italian prisoners came here in the nineteen forties. They asked for a place to pray. They were given metal huts. They made a painted ceiling and an iron screen.

Iznutra zaboraviš barake. Talijanski zarobljenici došli su ovamo četrdesetih godina prošlog stoljeća. Zamolili su za mjesto za molitvu. Dobili su limene barake. Načinili su oslikani strop i željeznu pregradu.

"What do you need to complete the work?" They asked for cement. They got cement. Everything else came from rubbish. The candle holders are old tins.

„Što vam treba da dovršite posao?” Tražili su cement. Dobili su cement. Sve ostalo došlo je iz smeća. Svijećnjaci su stare limenke.

A small tool sat on the sill. "Could you show me how to use this tool?" Polly asked. He showed her. "Could you explain that again?" He did.

Na prozorskoj dasci bio je mali alat. „Možete li mi pokazati kako se koristi ovaj alat?” pitala je Polly. Pokazao joj je. „Možete li mi to ponovno objasniti?” Objasnio je.
