BR 2-02: Stone Soup

I read Stone Soup. I am going to tell you about this story. The character is old man and old woman. The man is so poor. He looks terrible. He has a stick, and wearing a hat. The woman is fat, and her attitude is not so kind.




One day, the man walked with his dog. He found a cottage, and then knocked it. An old woman opened the door. The old man asked her to rest here for a while, but she didn't allow. He didn't give up, and told her what he can make a good soup from a stone.




She wanted to look it, so she put water into a pot on the fire. Then, he added a special stone. After that, the soup bubbled. Then, he tasted it, and he recommended her to add an onion. So she put chopped an onion into a pot.




After that, he tasted it again, and he advised her to add a potato. So she put chopped potato into the pot. He tasted again, and then he told her to add some meat. So she put chopped some meat into the pot. He put it into a bowl.




Next, she tried to eat the soup. She likes this soup. He smiled, and washed the stone and put it in his pocket. She didn't notice this trick. She believed his lie about special stone. Finally, he and his dog stay with her to eat soup for dinner. I thought he is clever. I also like this story.
