Mr. and Mrs. O’Grady live alone. Although they are very poor, they share what they have with one another, and are quite happy. The only thing missing from each of their lives is a friend. One day while digging up the one potato that they will eat for the day, Mr. O’Grady finds a pot. When he takes it in to show Mrs. O’Grady, the two discover that the pot creates an identical copy of anything that is placed inside—but when Mrs. O’Grady accidentally stumbles into the pot, the elderly couple must find a creative way to solve their unusual problem.I really enjoyed this folktale, which was new to me. Mr. and Mrs. O’Grady are good people, and even when they find a way that they could become rich, they only make what they need and do not take advantage of the situation. They end up being rewarded well with good friends.
