8. The Pot That Danced
Once upon a time there was a poor man named Hans. He and his wife Gerta lived in their little
hut on the farm with their five children
One day Gerta said, “ we had no food at all but the children must eat. What shall we do?”
“I’d better sell the cow”, said Hans. “Then we will have money and buy food for our children.”
Hans took his cow to town. Along the way he met a man.
“What a fine cow!” the man said so Hans asked if he would like to buy the cow.
“But I don’t have money, the man answered. If you want I will give my pot in exchange of your
cow.” Hans could not answer at once. He didn’t want to give the cow for a pot.
Suddenly, the pot began to dance on its three legs and sang this song.
“Oh Hans, if you take me
Most happy will you be!”
Hans was surprised to see a dancing and singing pot so he gave the cow to the man and took the
pot with him. When he got home, he told his wife about what happened.
Gerta got mad but she was amazed when the dirty pot asked her to clean him.
She immediately scrubbed the pot until it became clean. Then the pot began to dance around until it
danced out the house and reached the house of a rich man’s cook. Upon seeing the pot, he placed all
the good things into the pot to make pudding. He did not stop until the pot was full.
The pot dance again and leave the rich man’s house and go back to Hans home. The family had
a very fine dinner.
The following day,the pot danced till it came to a barn. The man working there, filled it with
wheat and again the pot danced and brought the wheat to the couple. Gerta was so happy for she
could make bread out of the wheat.

9. The next day, the pot danced into a rich man’s big house. The rich man was counting his
money when he saw the pot . He filled the pot with money again the pot danced away. “Come
back”! said the rich man but the pot would not. It danced home to Hans and Gerta.
When Hans found out the money inside the pot, He felt glad but realized that it’s not good to
use the pot to get the things that their family needs. So he looked for the rich man and returned the
money. The rich man rewarded him by giving him a good job on his farm. From then, the family
were never poor again and later on they became rich.
