In a town called Calabria a long time ago theres was a woman named Strega Nona, a witch, which means Grandma Witch. On day Straga Nona was getting old so she post signs asking for help. Big Anthony showed up. Strega Nona told him: "You should sweep the house, wash the dishes, weed the garden and pick up the vegetables. you must feed the goat and milk her. Also, give her water. I will give you 3 coins and a place to sleep and food to eat." "Oh, thank you!", said Big Anthony". It was only one thing he should never do. He should never touch the pasta pot. It was valuable and no one should touch it. Big Anthony swept the house, washed the dishes, weeded the garden, picked up the vegetables and finish his duties. Anthony went to bed in the goat shed and he ate there. But, one day Anthony touched the Pasta Pot and boiled some pasta. The Pasta Pot never stopped making pasta! And the pasta went all over the town. It looks like waves in the ocean. The town called Strega Nona and she make the Pasta Pot stop making pasta. But, Anthony got to eat all the pasta unit the end.
