What a perfect name for a blog as well...Can't believe that so many people remember the story as well..lol

I love that story, in fact I posted a link to it in an old posting here:

I know the version of an old Russian soldier coming back from the war and hungry etc etc...every version is lovely in its own right, though! :-)

oh yes I know that one, that was not really told to me so much though but I guess that might have been an age thing and my mother not wanting to talk about war and Russia/ Germany.

you are right though, each story is perfect for what it is and the fact that in the day of the xbox etc we can still remember the stories of our childhood proves that maybe that was a better way to put a kid to sleep rather then dump them in front of the goggle box

Thanks for that mandy_moo - just had to 'go google' and you're right - great song by a great band :T.

One of my (and my children's) favourite stories. And what a great title for a blog - wish I'd thought of it first. Is there one called the magic porridge pot do you think? I bet there is.

I think it used to be in one of the Ladybird reading books. May be wrong.

I certainly read the story to my children.
