Sweet Porridge

The girl took the pot home to her mother, and now they were freed from their poverty and hunger, and ate sweet porridge as often as they chose.

[1] A rather similar story was recorded by Czech folklorist Karel Jaromír Erben under the title "Hrnečku, vař!"

In his version, shot in Communist Czechoslovakia, the pot is the center of the conflict between poor peasants and greedy exploiters.

In the happy ending the greedy ones are forced to flee by the flood of porridge from the pot, and, by the laws of Socialist utopia, food is fairly given to everyone.

A greedy baker Karl Hagenbeck tricks her into giving him the pot and starts selling the porridge...[4]
