The Good Stone Soup

     You know the story of stone soup right?  A man wondered into this little village and was hungry. Unable to find food he had an idea. He boiled a big kettle of water and put in a stone. A villager came and asked what he was cooking, as food was not that plentiful for anyone in the village. He replied that he was making stone soup. He tasted the water and said it was good but it really could use an onion or two. The villager said that he had a couple onions he could throw in if the man would share the soup. The onions were in and started to draw a crowd for now the water scented the air and the mouths started watering. One by one the villagers repeated what transpired between the man  and the first villager. Only with every single one the man would reply that the soup would be greatly improved with a different ingredients. Soon enough the soup was rich and hearty with. carrots, potatoes, peas, garlic,and many other wonderful ingredients. The entire village had delicious soup and credited to the man with the stone and the water.
