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.

Blizu majhnega jezera je Polly videla velike lonce ob globokih luknjah. Kuhar je z vrvjo dal lonec v vsako luknjo. 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.

V vsakem loncu sta bila meso in zelenjava. Zemlja pod njim je vroča od vulkana. Ognja ni. Hrano skuha samo toplota 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 ostanejo v zemlji šest ali sedem ur. Ljudje gredo med čakanjem na sprehod. Potem se vrnejo na večerjo.

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

Ko so odprli prvi lonec, je prišla para. Zelo lepo je dišalo. Polly je gledala, kako ga je kuhar veselo odnesel.
