This week the children made Stone Soup. They reenacted the story as they made the soup. Afterwards they all got to eat a delicious bowl of stone soup.
For all of you that do not know the story of Stone Soup, you
can now read it.
Some travelers come to a village, carrying nothing more
than an empty cooking pot. Upon their arrival, the villagers are unwilling to
share any of their food stores with the hungry travelers. Then the travelers
go to a stream and fill the pot with water, drop a large stone in it, and place
it over a fire. One of the villagers becomes curious and asks what they are
doing. The travelers answer that they are making "stone soup", which tastes
wonderful, although it still needs a little bit of garnish to improve the
flavor, which they are missing. The villager does not mind parting with a few
carrots to help them out, so that gets added to the soup. Another villager walks
by, inquiring about the pot, and the travelers again mention their stone soup
which has not reached its full potential yet. The villager hands them a little
bit of seasoning to help them out. More and more villagers walk by, each adding
another ingredient. Finally, a delicious and nourishing pot of soup is enjoyed
by all.
