The Old Woman and Her Wish
By Joyce Furstenau |
|
1 A very long time ago, an old woman was cleaning her house as she did every Saturday. She cleaned her cupboards and dusted her draperies. She washed her windows and polished her pots. One of her pots was made of brass. It had a very unusual shape. The old woman was especially fond of this pot. When she polished it, she took great care to rub first one way and then the other. She picked up the pot and polished it just as she had always done, but this time a strange thing happened. As she rubbed one way and then the other, she felt something move inside the pot. The old woman removed the pot's lid to see inside. As she did, a large, vaporous cloud escaped, nearly frightening the old woman to death. |
