Middag begravd ved daggry
Polly watches a cook bury pots of food in the ground, where the volcano's heat cooks dinner with no fire.

Ved en liten innsjø så Polly store gryter ved siden av dype hull. En kokk satte en gryte ned i hvert hull med et tau. Polly så på.
Hver gryte hadde kjøtt og grønnsaker inni. Bakken under er varm fra vulkanen. Det er ingen ild. Bare varmen fra jorda koker maten.
Grytene blir i bakken i seks eller sju timer. Folk går en tur mens de venter. Så kommer de tilbake til middag.
Damp kom ut da den første gryta ble åpnet. Det luktet veldig godt. Polly så kokken bære den bort, glad og stolt.
That's the story.
