The Magic Pot

 The Magic Pot by Pleasant DeSpain

The Magic Pot is a Chinese folktale that speaks on being blessed with good fortune. 

The man did not know that a pot he had found on the side of the road would bring so much fortune to his home. The woodcutter's wife was so happy because they realized that the pot would duplicate each item that was in the pot. 

This meant that they would be able to have more of the things they needed. They put dinner and coins into the pot and they doubled. They became more and more rich, the woodcutter planned a great future thanks to the magic pot. The man doubled the wife, and did not know what to do. 

The wife's were smart and put him in the pot so that there could be two of the husbands. Since there were two of each, they formed another couple. 

They worked together to build a beautiful future and home and give thanks to the relatives who had given them the good fortune. 

This shows that we should always be grateful for the unexpected blessings and to not take the little things for granted!
