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.

The old woman with the big bag arrives.

‘Why are you crying, little girl?’ she says.

‘I’m hungry and I want to eat something!’

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!
