Stone Soup

     A hungry traveler came to a village where people were unwilling to share, carrying nothing but an empty pot. He said he would make stone soup.
     He filled the pot with water, put a stone in it, and placed it over a fire. Curious villagers asked what he was doing. He said he was making "stone soup," which would taste even better with some extra ingredients.
     One villager offered a carrot, another a potato, and others followed with different vegetables, meat, and spices. Soon, the pot was filled with a rich and delicious soup.
     The villagers and the traveler shared the meal together, realizing that by contributing just a little each, they had created something wonderful.

This story highlights the importance of sharing and cooperation, showing that working together can lead to great results.
