Once there was a village. People there didn’t like to share. One day, a traveler came to the village. He was very tired and hungry. He stopped at a house and knocked at the door. A woman opened the door. The traveler asked, “May I have something to eat?” The woman shook her head, and then she closed the door.

The traveler picked up a stone and knocked at the door again.

“Perhaps you’d like to have some of my stone soup!” said the traveler.

“Stone soup?” the woman was surprised.

“Yes. Just lend me a pot of hot water, please,” the traveler smiled. Though she didn’t want, the woman still did so. The traveler placed the stone in it. “It’s good,” he said. “But if you had just a little salt and butter, the soup would taste better!”

A little angry, but the woman got some salt and butter. At that time, some neighbors started to gather around the traveler.

“It’s almost done,” the traveler said. “But it would be even nicer if there were some carrots and potatoes.”

“I have potatoes,” volunteered an elderly lady.

“I have carrots,” cried a young man.

Minutes later, these were added in. Soon, the air was filled with the nice smell. “Is it ready?” the first woman asked. “Yes, but I remember that adding in some broth（肉汤）to the stone soup will taste better,” he replied. “I have broth,” shouted a neighbor who was watching from a window.

Having all things in the pot, the traveler tasted a spoon of the soup. “Perfect!” he cried. Then, he served a bowl of stone soup to everyone. “It’s delicious!” the villagers all cried happily.
