Work Description

Strega Nona is a lovable grandmotherly witch who helps all the townspeople with their problems.She hires Big Anthony to help her with chores. One day he hears her singing to the pasta pot. He however, does not see her blowing three kisses to make it stop. Her one rule is never to touch the pasta pot, but when she is away Big Anthony takes it out and sing the song to it, then invites all the townspeople to come and get pasta. The problem comes when he cn't stop the pot. In the end, his punishment fits the crime.
