1
00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:22,640
Speaker 1: This is a sweet story about a poor little girl

2
00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:30,200
Speaker 1: and her poor mother. The little girl is kind and helpful,

3
00:00:31,360 --> 00:00:37,440
Speaker 1: but they have no food to eat. The little girl

4
00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:40,280
Speaker 1: goes out into the forest to look for some wood

5
00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:46,080
Speaker 1: to keep them warm and sees an old lady. She

6
00:00:46,159 --> 00:00:50,200
Speaker 1: helps the old lady to gather her wood. The little

7
00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:53,680
Speaker 1: girl is so kind, the old lady gives her a

8
00:00:53,840 --> 00:01:00,400
Speaker 1: magic pot. The little girl rushes home, excited to show

9
00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:11,840
Speaker 1: her mother sweet porridge. There was once a poor widow

10
00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:17,200
Speaker 1: who had only one daughter, a child who was so

11
00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:24,560
Speaker 1: good and gentle that everyone who knew her loved her.

12
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:29,680
Speaker 1: One day, the child went into the forest to gather firewood,

13
00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:35,399
Speaker 1: and she was very sad because there was nothing left

14
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:40,800
Speaker 1: in the house to eat, and because she and her

15
00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:47,440
Speaker 1: mother were so often made to go hungry. She had

16
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:51,920
Speaker 1: already gathered a bundle of sticks and was about to

17
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:56,960
Speaker 1: go home when she saw a poor old woman who

18
00:01:56,960 --> 00:02:02,440
Speaker 1: had also come to the forest for wood. The woman

19
00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:06,720
Speaker 1: was so bent and stiff that it was sad to

20
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:11,920
Speaker 1: see her. The child felt sorry for her and wished

21
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:19,880
Speaker 1: to help her. Good morning, she said, let me gather

22
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:22,880
Speaker 1: the wood for you. It must be hard for you

23
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:29,560
Speaker 1: to bend. She put down her own load and gathered

24
00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:33,360
Speaker 1: for the old woman as much as she was able

25
00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:39,000
Speaker 1: to carry. I would take it home for you, said

26
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:42,440
Speaker 1: the little girl. But my mother is waiting for me,

27
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:50,040
Speaker 1: and I must go quickly, for I am already late. Child,

28
00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:55,040
Speaker 1: said the old woman. You have a good heart, and

29
00:02:55,160 --> 00:03:01,560
Speaker 1: you deserve to be rewarded. Drew out from under her

30
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:08,640
Speaker 1: cloak a little iron pot. Take this, she said. It

31
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:13,720
Speaker 1: is a magic pot. Whenever you are hungry, you only

32
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:19,680
Speaker 1: have to say boil, little pot, till the porridge is hot,

33
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:24,840
Speaker 1: and it will begin to boil and fill up with

34
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:32,720
Speaker 1: sweet porridge. When you have had enough, say cease, little pot.

35
00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:41,200
Speaker 1: The porridge is hot, and it will stop boiling. She

36
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:45,800
Speaker 1: made the child repeat the words after her several times,

37
00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:50,400
Speaker 1: and then she gave her the pot and hobbled away

38
00:03:50,640 --> 00:04:04,040
Speaker 1: through the forest. The child was filled with joy at

39
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:08,120
Speaker 1: the thought that now she and her mother need never

40
00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:14,960
Speaker 1: be hungry again. She ran home as fast as she could,

41
00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:21,480
Speaker 1: carrying the pot with both hands. When she came in,

42
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:25,359
Speaker 1: her mother asked her where the wood was. I have

43
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:29,599
Speaker 1: brought home something better than wood, cried the child. The

44
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:34,039
Speaker 1: wood only warms us, but here is something that will

45
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:38,080
Speaker 1: feed us as well. She set the pot upon the

46
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:44,000
Speaker 1: table and set boil, little pot till the porridge is hot.

47
00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:52,680
Speaker 1: The pot at once began to bubble and boil, and

48
00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:58,960
Speaker 1: soon it was full and brimming over with sweet porridge.

49
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:02,160
Speaker 1: The widow picked up a spoon and spooned some of

50
00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:06,000
Speaker 1: the porridge out into a bowl. But the more she

51
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:11,160
Speaker 1: dipped out, the more there was in it. When all

52
00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:16,600
Speaker 1: the bowls in the house were full, the child said, cease,

53
00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:22,280
Speaker 1: little pot, the porridge is hot. And at once the

54
00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:30,880
Speaker 1: pot stopped boiling. The widow was overjoyed at the treasure

55
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:36,200
Speaker 1: the little girl had brought home. Come, she cried, let

56
00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:41,000
Speaker 1: us sit down and eat. Yes, dear mother, said the child.

57
00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:44,760
Speaker 1: But first I will carry some of the porridge to

58
00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:48,680
Speaker 1: the neighbors, who were so kind to us when we

59
00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:56,719
Speaker 1: had nothing. The little girl filled a large kettle with

60
00:05:56,839 --> 00:06:01,599
Speaker 1: porridge and started out with it. But no sooner had

61
00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:05,040
Speaker 1: she gone than the widow began to wonder whether they

62
00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:10,520
Speaker 1: had kept enough for themselves. She did not feel satisfied,

63
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:15,680
Speaker 1: so she said to the pot, boil, little pot, till

64
00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:22,720
Speaker 1: the porridge is hot. Immediately the pot began to bubble

65
00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:27,680
Speaker 1: and boil. Soon it was full, and the porridge began

66
00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:33,000
Speaker 1: to run over. The widow wished to stop it, but

67
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:38,960
Speaker 1: she had forgotten what to say. Enough, she cried stop, stop,

68
00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:44,240
Speaker 1: but the porridge still boiled up and over the edge

69
00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:49,200
Speaker 1: of the pot. The widow picked up the spoon and

70
00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:54,520
Speaker 1: again began spooning out the porridge. She dipped as fast

71
00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:59,800
Speaker 1: as she could. Soon all the pots and pans in

72
00:06:59,839 --> 00:07:04,440
Speaker 1: the house were full, and still the pot continued to

73
00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:11,400
Speaker 1: boil out porridge. In despair, the widow grabbed the pot

74
00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:17,200
Speaker 1: and threw it outside the door, but the porridge flowed

75
00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:21,559
Speaker 1: out from it in a stream and ran down the road.

76
00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:28,520
Speaker 1: The little girl was coming home when she met the

77
00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:33,280
Speaker 1: stream of porridge, and at once she guessed what had happened.

78
00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:38,080
Speaker 1: She ran as fast as she could, and when she

79
00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:42,760
Speaker 1: came to the place where the pot lay, she cried, cease,

80
00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:48,800
Speaker 1: little pot, the porridge is hot. At once the pot

81
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:55,760
Speaker 1: stopped boiling, but already enough porridge had been wasted to

82
00:07:55,880 --> 00:08:04,600
Speaker 1: have fed the whole countryside. After that, the widow never

83
00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:09,560
Speaker 1: again dared to tell the pot to boil. When they

84
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:13,240
Speaker 1: wished for porridge, it was the child who spoke to it.

85
00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:18,800
Speaker 1: But from then on she and her mother never lacked

86
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:24,840
Speaker 1: for anything. For the porridge was so delicious that people

87
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:39,000
Speaker 1: came from far and near to buy it from them.

88
00:08:39,160 --> 00:09:09,680
Speaker 1: Good Night, sleep tight, Boo
