C004 The Magic Porridge Pot Well,,, many coerces, many years ago a, ah young, young fellow and ah,,I,, my recollection is sketchy but I th,, believe my mother was reading this ah story to me at bed time. About the um, the porridge pot, the magic porridge pot. And the um, the what I recall th more vividly than any other part of the story was the ending. where I ah, I remember the porridge pot was tipped over. and the porridge would continue to flow from the pot ah ah,until someone righted it. and I don't remember who righted it. But um when I was asked by ah professor Tamiko to ah to tell a story I ah started looking for that particular story. Its a Grimfs fiery tail and the ah, ah the young girl , in Germany who ah lived in a poor village with ah and ah and they were ah quite ah ah, short of food and one day she was in the forest and she met an ah elderly lady who ah, ah liked her and said gwell ifm ganna help youh and she gave her this magic porridge pot. And the ah the, the girl was told to say gcook little pot cookh I think it was, and ah she took it home to her mother and they never had to worry about food again. Even the neighbors ah would, would, be able to enjoy some of the porridge ah so every day they could have porridge, so never hungry again. But um.. one day the little girl went to visit her.. wanted to visit her grand mother in another town, and the mother was hungry while the little girl was,, out of town. And she knew how to start the pot cooking and she said gcook little pot cookh. And when she was satisfied with the porridge that she had, she wanted to stop the pot, but she didnft know how to do it. And she said various versions, of ah please stop and ,, and it no nothing worked until the her daughter came home and said to um I think it was, stop little pot stop or something like that I I I donft ah remember, oh thats it ah,,, um,,, no the little girl said genough little poth that was what stopped the pot. And the (laugh)the um it is so fantastical because it couldnft ever be true ah that people had to eat their way home that day there was so much porridge. on the ground, and in the in their homes. um of course its completely ridiculous that this could ever happen but I that was the story. but I remember a little bit differently, the pot was actually tipped over so.. But thatfs the thatfs my story that my mother read me when I was little.
