Quiz ↓Cerca de un pequeño lago, Polly vio grandes ollas junto a agujeros profundos. Un cocinero puso una olla en cada agujero con una cuerda. Polly observó.
Cada olla tenía carne y verduras dentro. La tierra debajo está caliente por el volcán. No hay fuego. Solo el calor de la tierra cocina la comida.
Las ollas se quedan en la tierra durante seis o siete horas. La gente da un paseo mientras espera. Luego vuelven para cenar.
Salió vapor cuando se abrió la primera olla. Olía muy bien. Polly observó al cocinero llevársela feliz.
