BR 2-13: The Magic Porridge Pot

I read "The Magic Porridge Pot."

Do you know porridge? Porridge is like oatmeal. This story is about porridge.

This story is about hungry Hannah, an old woman, a greedy boy, a magic pot and a lot of porridge.

Hannah never had enough to eat. But, when she had some food, she always shared it.

One day, Hannah found some honey in the forest. Then she saw an old woman. The woman was carrying an empty pot. An old woman asked her "Would you like some porridge?" Hannah answerd "I'd LOVE some porridge." But, an old woman's pot is empty. The woman smiled. "That's doesn't matter," she said. "You just need to know the magic words." "Cook pot, cook!" Hot porridge filled the pot. "Stop pot, stop!" Then it stopped.

An woman geve porridge fto her. Remember the magic words and you will never be hungry again.

From then on, Hannah always had plenty to eat. She had porrdige for breakfast, porridge for lunch nad porridge for dinner. One evening, a greedy boy smelled the porridge. He saw the start to fill with porridge, but didn't see it stop. The boy waited until Hannah went to bed. Then he crept in, stole the pot and ran home. He couldn't to say the magic words. Steaming porridge filled the pot. Porridge driooed over the sides. "Stop!" cried the boy. But the pot didn't stop. Porridge poured onto the floor. Then porridge filled outside.

In her bedroom, Hannah sniffed. She ran putside. Porridge was pouring down the street. Hannah shouted the magic words. And a last, the pot stopped.

Finnaly, she got her pot backm, and no one ever stole it again.
My favorite line is "Cook pot, cook!" It words is very cute. I want to say this words. Then I want to eat porridge. (Grimm 2007 p.15)
