And the mother said: "How far do you skip, little Pot?"

"I skip to the end of the world," said the little pot. And it began to

skip, skip, first on one of its three legs and then on another, skippity

skip, skippity skip, until it came to the top of the hill, and there was

the rich man hunting for his money. And when he saw the little iron pot

he cried out: "There is the pot that stole my money!" And he caught up

with the pot and put his hand into it to take out his money, but his

hand could not find the money; so he put his head in to look for it, and

he could not see it; next he climbed into the pot, and then it began to

skip, skip, far away up the hill and up the mountain, and away to the

end of the world.
