One day, Lisa went to play in
the forest. An old man came to
her house. He was hungry. He

wanted some porridge. Lisa’s
mother took out the pot. She

said, ‘Cook, little pot, cook.’ The
pot started cooking. Soon it was
full. The mother wanted to stop

it from cooking. But she could
not remember the magic words

to stop it.

The pot kept on cooking and

cooking. The porridge started
coming out of the pot.

Soon the kitchen was full of porridge.

Then the whole house was full of

porridge.

Then the porridge filled the street.

Lisa came back home. She was shocked
to see porridge everywhere. She went
into the kitchen. Her mother said, ‘Lisa

I forgot the magic words to stop the
pot. It kept on cooking porridge. I am

sorry.’ Lisa quickly said to the magic
pot, ‘Thank you, little pot, stop now.’

At last the pot stopped cooking.
