LadyBird Books

I was passing by a Popular outlet sometime this week and decided to see if there were any interesting reads I could pick up. Somehow, I ended up in the kids section browsing through LadyBird books. As I started reading some of the stories I used to read as a kid, I realised I couldn't remember how most of the stories ended, or what the plot was! I'd know bits of it, but never the whole story. So I spent quite a bit of time reliving my childhood.

The Three Billy Goats Gruff, for instance. All I remember is 3 goats who wanted to cross a bridge where a wicked troll resided.
Question 1: How did they eventually get across?
Question 2: Why did they want to get across in the first place?

The Magic Porridge Pot
All I could remember was the magic pot that could cook porridge non-stop. What the actual story was, I couldn't remmeber.

Rapunzel
I'm sure everyone must have read this all-time favourite.
But what happened in the end after the witch sent her away and the prince came to the tower to find only the witch? How did they meet again?

Can you people remember?

I remember Magic Porridge Pot! It was all nice and wonderful for a bit but I think towards the end, something happened and the porridge overflowed and covered the whole town or something.

Then erm, I cannot remember already :)

Yes yes! The little girl's mother forget the magic words to stop the pot, so the porridge overflowed and covered the whole town. Then the daughter came back and said the magic words, "Stop Little Pot, Stop." Till the day, the whole town is filled with porridge lor.

Cute hor?
