Shaz and her mother have nothing to eat and no money to buy any food. So Shaz walks through the forest to Aunty Samina's house in search of advice.

Aunty Samina has a magic pot that cooks delicious porridge on the command of 'Cook little pot' and stops again on the command 'Enough little pot'. Shaz takes the pot home to her mother who soon gets a taste for the porridge. But unfortunately she can't remember the exact words to stop the pot cooking...with the result that the village is soon swamped in a sea of porridge! Show less
