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.

Kapelo na otočku Lamb Holm sestavljata dve vojaški baraki. Oskrbnik jo je odklepal."Kakšno delo opravljate?"ga je vprašala. Zjutraj odpre vrata in zvečer jih zapre.

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.

Znotraj pozabiš na baraki. Italijanski ujetniki so sem prišli v štiridesetih letih prejšnjega stoletja. Prosili so za prostor za molitev. Dobili so kovinski baraki. Naredili so poslikan strop in železno pregrado.

"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.

"Kaj potrebujete, da dokončate delo?"Prosili so za cement. Cement so dobili. Vse drugo je prišlo iz smeti. Svečniki so stare pločevinke.

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 okenski polici je ležalo majhno orodje."Mi lahko pokažete, kako se uporablja to orodje?"je vprašala Polly. Pokazal ji je."Mi lahko to še enkrat razložite?"Ponovil je.
