 “Stone Soup”

Once upon a time, there was a small village which

was inhabited by poor people. They didn’t like
sharing their things with others as they had very
little. They would lock their doors and windows
tight and keep the little provisions they had for
themselves.
One day, a visitor passed through the village. He
was very hungry and exhausted from his long
journey. He stopped at the first house he could
see and knocked on the door, hoping to get some
food. The woman inside cracked open the door a
little and asked, “Who are you?”
“I am a traveller, and I was passing through
your village. I am tired and hungry. Can I please
have something to eat?” “Go away; we hardly
have any food here,” replied the woman. “I
doubt you’ll find anyone here who has food to
spare. We are all poor,” said the woman. After
she said this, the woman closed the door in the
traveler's face.
The traveller was not ready to give up and picked
up a large stone from the ground and knocked
again on the woman’s door. The lady came to the
door again and opened it only halfway. “What do
you want now?” asked the woman. “Since you are
poor like me, maybe you’d like to have some of
my stone soup. It is delicious and fulfilling!”
“Stone soup, you say?” laughed the woman as she
saw the stone in the traveler's hand. “You
can’t make soup from a stone” To that, the
traveller replied, “Yes, you can! I’ve done it
before.”
The woman didn’t believe him as she had never seen someone make
soup from stones before. However, she was hungry too, so she
invited him in. She lit the fire and placed a kettle of water on
top, and opened the windows to let the heat out. The traveller
placed the stones in the water until the water started boiling. He
took a sip of the hot liquid and said, “It’s almost done! But, if
you had just a little salt and butter, it would taste much
better!”

The woman went to her cupboard and returned with salt and butter.
As the traveller was adding them to the stone soup, the woman’s
husband returned home with carrots and potatoes in his hand. “What
are you cooking?” asked the woman’s husband. “Stone soup!”
replied the traveller and the woman. The man could not believe this
and thought that it was impossible to make soup out of a stone.
It’s almost finished!” said the traveller as he tasted another
spoonful of the soup. “However, it would taste much better if we
added carrots and potatoes to it,” said the traveller. The husband
was also hungry, so he agreed to add some carrots and potatoes to
the stone soup.
Soon, the smell of the soup drifted out of the open window and down
the lane. A neighbour who usually stayed inside wandered out and
followed the smell all the way to the first house. There, he heard
the woman, her husband and the traveller talking about the stone
soup. “Is the stone soup ready now?” the woman and her husband
asked the traveller. Yes, but it could be even better if we had
some turnips and beans!” “I have some!” yelled the neighbour who
was watching them from the window.
The neighbour was curious to taste the soup made of stones, so he
returned with turnips and beans. He poured it into the pot, and
the smell of the soup drifted further into the village.
Word of a traveller making soup out of a stone drew the villagers
out of their houses and towards the woman’s house. They all
