He was told that 11 pots are a must. It had taken him 6 months to collect all the ingredients for the potion. 

Today was the day. The wind was right and it was 15 minutes to go before she would come out of her house. He adored the beautiful Sheila, but he was poor and she was from a rich family and would never ever date him. 

An old wise man told him however that with the love potion he could make her love him. He had some wood collected to build a little fire under the pots. The smoke would go her way when she would come from the house. He would have to take the middle pot in his hands and magic would happen. 

He turned on the fire underneath the last pots 
as suddenly his friend appeared next to him. “Need a hand” while picking up the middle pot. He stood there with his mouth open as Sheila walked straight into his friend’s arms.
