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.
