Story retold by Bev Evans
Once upon a time there was a little girl who went for a walk
in the forest.
The little girl met a kind old woman who
gave her a magic porridge pot.
The old woman showed the little girl what the pot could
do.
The porridge started to bubble in the little
porridge pot.
When the magic porridge pot was full
of hot, creamy porridge the old lady said, “Stop, little pot,
Stop.”“Cook, little pot, cook!” she said.
The little girl could hardly believe her
eyes!
The little girl took the magic porridge pot home and told
her mother all about it.
The magic porridge pot stopped making
porridge.
Her mother was really excited.
As soon as her daughter had gone out to play, she got the magic porridge
pot out of the cupboard.
She couldn’t wait to try it.
“Cook, little pot,
cook.” said the
little girl’s mother.
The little pot kept cooking……
After eating a bowl of creamy porridge the little girl’s mum sat in her chair and
fell asleep.
She had forgotten all about the porridge pot!
…and cooking…
…and cooking.
Soon the whole town was full of
porridge!
“Oh, my goodness!” exclaimed the little
girl.
She ran home and shouted,
The little girl was just coming home.
“Stop, little pot, stop!”
The magic porridge pot finally stopped
cooking! And everyone in the town had porridge
for breakfast, dinner and tea for a whole
month.
