Which is Better? "Now which of us will you marry?" they asked the girl. "I thank you all, my dear friends," answered the girl. "One of the brothers saw me in his looking-glass, and that helped to save my life. His looking-glass is a very useful thing, and he will have it forever. Another brother brought all three of you here on his carpet, and that helped to save me, too. It is also a very useful thing, and he will have it forever. And one of you gave me the lemon juice, and now I am well again. But he has no lemon now. He gave all he had to save me. I will be his wife." And the other two brothers said, "Yes, the girl is right."

The Magic Pot The Magic Pot Long, long ago there lived an old woman who sold the best soup in the market. It was chicken soup. Nobody knew the old woman's name. Nobody knew where she lived. Nobody knew why her soup was always the best in the market and why it was so hot. But people did not think about that. They bought the soup and ate it. Every morning the old woman came to the market square. She carried a big black pot of hot chicken soup on her head. Then she sat down under a tree, and it did not take her long to sell her soup. There lived a small boy not far from the market square. His name was Kalari. He liked the soup very much. He wanted to know where the old woman came from. One day when the old woman put her empty pot on her head and left the market square, Kalari followed her, but she did not see him. hey went a long, long way, they climbed up a high hill. Evening came. Kalari was afraid, but he went on. At last the woman came to a little hut on that high hill. There stood a very large pot. "How big the pot is," thought Kalari. The woman went into the hut. Kalari went up to the pot and looked into it. It was empty. Then the woman came out of the hut. Kalari quickly hid himself. The woman came up to the large pot. Then she began to sing: Magic pot, magic pot, make hot soup for me, make hot soup for me, Make soup with chicken, make soup with chicken, Make this soup for me to sell, make this soup for me to sell, And for people to buy, and for people to buy.
