What is it, Marta?
gpt
Vesuvius, _carina_.
human
Where does all the smoke come from? Where's the fire?
gpt
Travelers from all parts of the world come and climb the volcano to look down into the crater, the mouth from which the smoke comes. I went up once with Countess Filota. People melt coins in the lava--that's the melted rock that comes out with the smoke. Sometimes the guides boil eggs over the lava to show how hot it is.

Marta, can't we go up? Weren't you afraid to look down into the mouth?
gpt
No, _carina_. They tell the story of an Englishman who went too close and fell in, but that was because of his own carelessness. There is no danger. Perhaps sometime we shall be able to go, so you can see for yourself.
