The Magic Cooking Pot.

Elf 1: Hey, brother! What story shall we tell them today?

Elf 2: Let me think… Let’s tell them my favorite one!

Elf 1: Go on! Look and listen attentively!

Elf 1: Once there lived a mother with her two children: a son and a daughter.

Elf 2: They were poor and lived in a small cottage.

Elf 1: But they were never hungry, for they had a magic cooking pot.

Elf 2: It could cook as much porridge as they wished… when they said the magic words.

M: Now, my children, who is hungry?

D: I am!

S: Me either!

M: The magic pot will cook as much porridge as we want! Cook, little pot, cook.

D: So rich, so creamy! Mother’s porridge is truly dreamy!

S: It’s so tasty! It’s so yummy! I can fill my hungry tummy!

M: Please stop, magic pot. How lucky we are to have this pot!

Now, my children, I have to go to the village today. And I ask you: do not touch the magic pot!

D: Sure, Mum!

S: Sure, Mum!

S: Listen, sister. I’m very hungry. What shall we do?

D: Oh, dear brother, I’m hungry too!

S: Like it or not, we must touch the cooking pot.

D: Cook, little pot, cook!

S: Oh, sister, I’m filled to the top! We should make the magic pot stop!

D: Oh, that’s easy! That is all, magic pot!

S: Oh, no! Quick! Do something! The magic pot must stop! It is boiling over the top!

D: Stop! Please, stop! No more, I say! That will do! No!

Villager 1: What is this, I say? A stream of porridge is spreading across the village today.

Villager 2: Grab your bowls, grab your spoons!

Villager 1: But that’s too much!

Villager 2: It is indeed, oh dear!

M: Oh, my naughty little children! I have to stop the cooking pot! Please stop, magic pot!

Villager 1: Oh, thank you, kind woman! You have saved the day! We feared it would carry all of us away!

M: I hope the lesson was learned, wasn’t it?

S: We learned a lesson on that sunny day.

D: When mother gives orders, we must obey.

Elf 1: That is the story we wanted to tell.

Elf 2: It’s time for us to go for I hear a dinner bell!

Elf 1: Good-bye, good-bye!

Elf 2: Farewell!
