Middagen som grävs ner i gryningen
Polly watches a cook bury pots of food in the ground, where the volcano's heat cooks dinner with no fire.

Vid en liten sjö såg Polly stora grytor bredvid djupa hål. En kock satte ner en gryta i varje hål med ett rep. Polly tittade på.
I varje gryta fanns kött och grönsaker. Marken under är het från vulkanen. Det finns ingen eld. Bara jordens värme lagar maten.
Grytorna står i marken i sex eller sju timmar. Folk går på promenad medan de väntar. Sedan kommer de tillbaka och äter middag.
Ånga kom ut när den första grytan öppnades. Det luktade mycket gott. Polly såg kocken bära bort den, glad och stolt.
That's the story.
