The Bogey-Beast

The widow lived alone and was very poor, but she had a great quality: she was happy with whatever she got! She ran errands for others, did little odd jobs for them and sometimes they gave her a bowl of soup or something to eat. That made her very happy. One day, she found an old black pot on the roadside and wondered who could have left it there. She decided to take it home and plant flowers in it. But when she looked into it, it contained gold coins! Delighted, she tied her shawl to it, to drag it home. Each time she looked back, it seemed to change into something else. First it turned into a lump of silver, then an iron ball, then a large stone. But nothing decreased her happiness. At the gate, she found a large four-legged animal come out of her shawl and she laughed, “At last I’ve seen the Bogey-Beast!”
