Water is very scarce here so when we saw a dripping tap outside our apartment we decided to put one of our pots under it to catch the water. (it is important to explain that the pot is double walled and has a deep lip at the bottom). So I decided to use this pot of water to cook the mielies (corn) for lunch. I put the water on the burner and shortly afterwards started to smell some thing burning. I looked in the pot and there was only water. Nothing seemed to be touching the pot so I went away. The smell got worse and worse but I couldn't find the source. Eventually I switched the burner off and lifted the pot up and there were 2 charred little frogs under the pot! They had climbed up inside the wall of the pot and then been trapped by the deep lip at the bottom of the pot! Poor little frogs! So now I check inside and under everything before I put it on the stove!
