Along those lines, and something I did a search on a while back with no results....
Tina and the Magic Pot.
Tina and her sick mother were very poor. Tina cooked for her mother whatever she could find, but resources were dwindling, and , after all she was just a little girl. One day she sent her sincere wishes out into the atmospheric continuum, and someone (can't remember who) provided
Tina with a
magic pot that always provided a sufficient amount of
sweet custard. The only thing
Tina had to remember was to say,
"Little pot, boil!" and
"Little pot, stop!" One day something happened (don't remember what) and she had to run out and forgot to tell the
little pot to
stop. When she returned, there was
custard running out the front door and it began to run all through the streets, and even though
Tina said, "Little pot, stop!" the
custard did not recede quickly, so the resident's of
Tina's town (including apparently her mother who somehow escaped being a victim of rising
custard levels) all got big spoons and ate their way to wherever they needed to go. Maybe this was a Little Golden Book (I can't remember).
This should be interesting, if it does attract anything at all. Lots of possibilities here, but my hope is that I come up with
Tina and the Magic Pot.
Edited to Add: Oops! Juan, we were posting simultaneously--didn't see yours till I submitted. I was concentrating on
custard. But maybe
Tina had an
aardvark, too. Or maybe she just saw one after eating all that
custard that came from the
magic pot.
