One day he scolds the “lazy boys” for forgetting to provide lunch. “Don't worry,” they say. “We can make stone soup.” The boys dig a hole and fill it with water and “flavored” stones. They trick the fisherman into making bowls and chopsticks, and fetching salt and sesame oil. While he's busy, they stir in bird eggs, add wild vegetables, and slip fish into the soup.

A recipe is included. 134788 18 1 2007 The Real Story of Stone Soup total:17|5:4|4:3|3:9|2:1|1:0| 17 61 27 4 4 1 false false Sun Jun 01 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Wed Nov 28 21:13:01 -0800 2007 Thu Jun 12 08:26:39 -0700 2008 more...]]> 0 0 false false Thu Apr 02 14:17:58 -0700 2009 Thu Apr 02 14:18:33 -0700 2009 j398.2
