Guinea pigs

You take the ball of yarn from the girl and help her finish winding her different colours of yarn onto the stakes. All the while the women and girls talk about the events of their day. "...and they have beautiful soft alpaca yarn this time already spun and dyed, but we must finish making this warp (a series of yarns extended lengthwise in a loom) before we can go over to see it."

"How can anyone live up in those mountains? How would they ever get any fish to eat?"
"Oh, they still have guinea pig up there, silly! Fish can't fly up into the altiplano (the high plains). I wonder if they prepare guinea pig like we do here? I bet they don't. My brother would know...he goes with the llama caravan and he knows all the latest news."
