Example of text:-

'This story is about hungry Hannah, an old woman, a greedy boy, a magic pot and a LOT of porridge.
Hannah never had enough to eat.
But, when she had some food, she always shared it.
One day, Hannah found some honey in the forest.
Then she saw an old woman. The woman was carrying an empty pot.
"Would you like some honey?" asked Hannah/
"Yes, please," said the old woman......'

And one good turn deserves another...as the old woman returns the favour, with a bit of magic on the way.
All is well - very well, in fact .....until a naughty little boy gets involved and porridge gets a little too plentiful!

`The Magic Porridge Pot is based on a traditional tale from Europe.
People have been telling different versions of the story for centuries.
It was first written down 200 years ago by the brothers Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm. They called it `Sweet Porridge'.'
