ADVENTURE X
THE PORRIDGE
Well, it was only natural that they should all want to see at once what kind of porridge their meal would make.
Osmo’s came out black and disgusting. Greatly disturbed he ambled over to Mikko’s house for advice. The Fox was stirring his own porridge which was white and smooth.
“What’s the matter with my porridge?” the Bear asked. “Yours is white and smooth but mine is black and horrid.”
“Did you wash your meal before you put it into the pot?” the Fox asked.
“Wash it? No! How do you wash meal?”
“You take it to the river and drop it in the water. Then when it’s clean you take it out.”
