Strega Nona By: Tomie dePaola In a small town in Italy there lived an old lady. Everyone called her Stregna Nona which meant “Grandma Witch." She had a magic touch that helped lots of people. One night, Big Anthony was milking the goat when he heard Strega Nona singing. He saw Stregna Nona standing over her pasta pot. She sang, “Bubble, bubble, pasta pot, Boil me some pasta, nice and hot, I'm hungry and it's time to sup, Boil enough pasta to fill me up.” Then magically the pasta pot bubbled and was filled with hot pasta! Then Strega Nona sang,Enough, enough, pasta pot, | have my pasta, nice and hot, So simmer down my pot of clay, Until I'm hungry another day.” "How wonderfull" said Big Anthony, "That's a magic pot for sure!" And Strega Nona called Big Anthony in for supper. But too bad for Big Anthony, because he didn't see Strega Nona blow three kisses to the magic pasta pot.

Sweep g the house and weed the garden, Feed the goat and milk her and for your lunch, there is some bread and cheese in the cupboard, And remember, don't touch the pasta pot." "Oh, yes-yes-Strega Nona," said Big Anthony. But inside he was thinking, my chance has come! hd was tha daa tm Gita ‘| ties do 0 Ute Ub Barcaledams Attar coats Ghe whale Some el depen?

Big Anthony sang the song and he ran to the town square and shouted, "Everyone get forks and plates, Pasta for all at Strega Nona's house! Big Anthony has made the magic pasta pot work!" Everyone ran home to get forks and plates, and when they got to Strega Nona's the pasta pot was so full it was starting to overflow. Big Anthony scooped out pasta and filled the plates . When all had had their fill, Big Anthony sang the song, but he did not blow the three kisses! (habeas he dus lin the | otis do 0 Cities 1B Conaciedons | altar coating Gi eiicla | stone ofl hope?

The people began to worry. "Do something, Big Anthony," they shouted, Big Anthony sang the magic song again but without the three kisses it did no good! By this time the pasta was on its way down the road and all the people were running to keep ahead of it. "The pasta will cover our town," they cried. And it certainly would have, had Strega Nona not come down the road, home from her visit. She didn't have to look twice to know what had happened. She sang the magic song and blew the three kisses and the pot stopped boiling and the pasta came to a halt. "All right, Anthony, you wanted pasta from my magic pasta pot," Strega Nona said, "and I want to sleep in my little bed tonight. So start eating." And he did ~ poor Big Anthony. 1.
