Dinner Buried at Dawn

Near a small lake, Polly saw big pots next to deep holes. A cook put a pot into each hole with a rope. Polly watched.

Kraj malog jezera Polly je vidjela velike lonce pokraj dubokih rupa. Kuhar je užetom stavio lonac u svaku rupu. Polly je gledala.

Each pot had meat and vegetables inside. The ground under it is hot from the volcano. There is no fire. Only the earth's heat cooks the food.

U svakom su loncu bili meso i povrće. Zemlja ispod vruća je od vulkana. Nema vatre. Hranu kuha samo toplina zemlje.

The pots stay in the ground for six or seven hours. People go for a walk while they wait. Then they come back for dinner.

Lonci ostaju u zemlji šest ili sedam sati. Ljudi u međuvremenu idu u šetnju. Zatim se vrate na večeru.

Steam came out when the first pot opened. It smelled very good. Polly watched the cook carry it away happily.

Kad se prvi lonac otvorio, izašla je para. Mirisalo je jako dobro. Polly je gledala kako ga kuhar sretno odnosi.
