Jen still had to tug and tug.\n\nShe got a big, stiff stick. \"This is a big help,\" Jen said. She set the stick on a rock and got the pot on it. The pot did not stop its up and down jig. She got a step in to get a good grip. With one last big push, the pot sat up. It was not stuck! \"At last!\" Jen said. Now she can pop in her stem.",
