  1. The time of the famine a woman lived in Coracow. She had nine children her husband died of hunger. One day the children were crying of hunger. They were starved so the woman did not know what to do. She put down a pot of small stones to please them but when she looked into the pot the finest pot of potatoes she ever saw were in the pot.
