Literature. Part eighty eight.

                                      "The Magic Porridge Pot" by the Brothers Grimm.

Once upon a time there was a girl. She lived with her mother in a town.

When the girl went in the forest, she met an old woman.

This old woman gave the girl a magic pot.

When the phrase 'Pot cook!' was spoken the sweet porridge appeared. When the phrase 'Pot stop!' was spoken porridge wasn't getting cooked. 

At home, the girl said, 'Pot cook!', so the sweet porridge was in the dish.

One day the girl went to her friends. The mother wanted to eat, she said 'Pot cook!', but the mother didn't know how to stop the pot.

The sweet porridge was all around in the house, on the road, in the neighborhood houses.

Then the girl returned home she said, 'Pot stop!'.

The pot stopped the process, but people ate a lot of porridge.

Tale from childhood: Visit to the space museum.

This place was big and cozy. There were many different telescopes that people looked through.

When Sophie looked through the telescope she saw stars, planets, and galaxies.

"Wow! That's lovely" Sophie said.

Then the visitors of the space museum were told interesting facts about galaxies. Sophie and granny listened very carefully.

Sophie remembered this trip well. She was tired, but very happy. When she went to bed she asked herself:

"Is there intelligent life in other galaxies?"
