The Magic Porridge Pot is a Russian folktale - this is a synopsis of the plot, that I found on a website!
Maisie is a poor little girl who lives with her mother in a cottage. One day she goes out to pick the blueberries they normally eat, but there are none left on the bush. Maisie is worried when an old witch shows up and asks Maisie to look after a magic pot for her since she’s an old woman she can’t carry much luggage. The old witch gives her the words to make the magic pot cook porridge and stop cooking when everyone has had their fill. Maisie agrees and takes the pot home to her mother. They eat themselves full and go to bed. The next day Maisie goes to play and her mother starts the pot to cooking, she eats her fill and tries to get the pot to stop but cannot remember the words that make the pot stop cooking. The whole town fills up with porridge, Maisie hears the commotion and gets home to tell the pot to stop cooking, but not before everyone’s house is full to the brim with porridge. The town isn’t so upset though because they have enough food for winter now.
Hope it helps you - and that you got the answer correct. By the way, there are several versions, but the story (and the ending!) is always the same - the heroine stops the pot but the whole village has enough food for the rest of the winter!

They managed to stop the Pot from overflowing and everyone had lotsa porridge to eat before it all turned stale and started to rot.
This decrepit state of hygiene in turn attracted the rats, which then led on to the Pied Piper fairytale, followed by the Plaque which then killed them all and the rest of the world lived happily ever after ...

After the pot stops cooking porridge, the overflow covers the whole town, so the story ends: "But anyone who wants to go into that town now, will have to eat his way through a lot of porridge!"

I think the person the woman got the pot from came back and turned it off, but the porridge remained covering the streets of the town until the people ate it all up.

The person who stole the pot, didn't know the spell to stop it, but the one who did, eventually said it, all the porridge went back into the pot(you're not getting me eating from it after that!)and they all lived happily ever after!

Doesn't the mother come to the rescue because the girl doesn't know how to stop the pot from cooking. 'Stop little pot, stop' she says!!!
