Stone Soup

You know how sometimes you might not have enough of something to make something yummy to eat, like maybe you only have a few carrots and onions but you want to make soup? Well, in a story called Stone Soup, some travelers came to a town and didn't have any food to eat. They asked the people in the town for some food, but everyone said they didn't have any. So the travelers thought of a clever idea to make soup with just a stone!

They asked the townspeople if they had a big pot to cook the soup in, and they did. They filled the pot with water and put the stone in. Then the travelers said they needed some vegetables to make the soup taste good. One person said they had a few carrots and another person said they had a couple of onions. Before they knew it, other people in the town were adding things to the soup like potatoes, tomatoes, and even some meat.

Everyone in the town had a small contribution to make, and soon the soup was delicious! The travelers shared the soup with everyone in the town, and it was a big feast. The lesson of the story is that when everyone works together and shares what they have, great things can happen.
