Nice story and illustrations

A morality tale that starts a bit like Jack & the Beanstalk, but the main character gets a magical wok instead. The wok steals food, toys, and money from members of a rich and greedy/selfish family, and brings them to a poor and generous family, who share everything they receive from the wok. The illustrations make the story very enjoyable.
