THE MAGIC POT

Exotic music introduces this worthwhile tale and reappears at appropriate times. When a poor, hardworking woodcutter comes upon a fine pot, he's delighted. Performer Bethany Eyrich captures the joy of the man and his wife as the pot produces a second copy of whatever is put in it. Then, the wife falls into the pot as she slips on the coins that have made the family rich. Soon, a second wife appears, and the man asks, "Can a man live with two women at the same time?" Each of the two wives gives a spirited reply, "Not in my house." Sound effects add to the ambiance. S.G.B. © AudioFile 2014, Portland, Maine [Published: MAY 2014]
