A poor farmer, while plowing his field, discovered a large, rusty l pot. After leaving his spade inside to rest, he was astonished to find the pot filled with hundreds of identical spades. Realizing it was magical, he used it to multiply food and grain, rapidly turning his poverty into wealth.
The greedy king, hearing rumors, seized the pot for his treasury, only to fall inside while inspecting it. The pot immediately created hundreds of kings, who fought until none remained. The farmer and his wife, having already gained enough to live comfortably, happily left the dangerous, magical pot in the kings possession.
