When I was small my mum used to give me porridge for breakfast. I wan't that keen on it and it always took a long time to finish, particularly because whenever I took a spoonful, the remaining amount filled the space where I had just taken some from. My brother used to tell me that there was a little man underneath the table who was filling it up again and I used to believe him!
