Peas porridge hot

Peas porridge cold

Peas porridge in a pot, nine days old.

Some like it hot.

Some like it cold.

Some like it in a pot, nine days old.

Stir it seven days.

Cook it for a week.

How much more time till days are nine,

And porridge we can eat?

Cook with peas

Answer here-->

If peas porridge needs to cook for nine days, and we stir and cook it for seven, then we need to figure out the difference between seven and nine.

Nine minus seven. What is that?

9-7=2.

We need to wait two days before we can eat the porridge.
