The stone pot exploded!
The tiger cub yelped in fright and burrowed into Jin Ling's arms.
Once the black smoke cleared, Qiao Xixi peeked out from Jin Ling's embrace. The shattered pot lay in pieces, its contents scattered all over the ground.
Her first attempt had failed. 'What a headache.'
But Qiao Xixi wasn't too disappointed. She climbed out of Jin Ling's arms and began to examine the scorched black things on the ground.
Jin Ling also came forward to help clean up. "I'll go make a couple more stone pots and bring them back."
They had been using their cooking pot. Now that it had exploded, they wouldn't even be able to make a meal.
Qiao Xixi nodded. "Okay. I'll think carefully about what went wrong."
"Alright. Don't rush. This isn't easy. If you can't figure it out, we can all discuss it together tonight when everyone else gets back."
"Okay."
