Maggie is sad, very sad.
She’s hungry, very hungry, and she can’t eat anything.
There’s no food in the kitchen, no food in the house.
Then she has an idea. ‘I can’t eat... but I can play!’
she thinks.

‘Mum, can I go and play in the wood?’ she says.
‘Yes, you can!’ says the mum.
Maggie puts on her yellow boots and her yellow hat
and she goes out.

says Maggie.

The old woman opens her bag and takes out a big
pot.
‘This is for you. It’s a magic pot!’ she says. ‘It can
cook delicious soup! When you’re hungry, you say
“Cook, magic pot, cook!”’
This is for you. It’s a magic pot!
