This story is about a little girl who lives with her mother and has no money. They are very hungry. An old woman gives the girl a magic cooking pot that will cook porridge when she says "Cook, little pot, cook!" and stop when she says "Stop, little pot, stop!" The pot helps feed the girl and her mother. One day, when the girl is out playing, her mother uses the pot but forgets to say "Stop." The pot keeps cooking and cooking until the girl returns and says the magic words to make it stop. The girl reminds her mother that the pot will only work if you say the right words.
