The Magic Porridge Pot


The Magic Porridge Pot

Retold by Rosie Dickins

(Based on the story by The Brothers Grimm)

Illustrated by Mike and Carl Gordon
I read this picture book today. A girl whose name is Hannah was always hungry. One day, she met an old woman who had an empty pot with her. The pot actually was a magic pot!! Hannah was given it from the old woman. Since then, she could begin to have porridge enough each day. However, a greedy boy saw that. And then…
I didn’t know this story. It made me feel like sort of smiling. I think it gives a lesson: if you were greedily trying to get something, you would pay for it.
There are some similar stories I have ever read. Well, a story about a greedy dog which drops meat down river is.
