BR1-09: Stone Soup (Sims, 2009)

"'I can make soup from a stone,' said the man." (p.5)

This story is full of wit. A poor man was a wise person. One day, he wanted to eat soup, and take rest. So, he hit upon a good idea. He told an old woman that he can make soup from stone. She put a big pot of water on the fire. The old man added a stone. He tasted it, and told the woman "An onion would make it better." She brought onion and popped it in. After that, he tasted it again. The old woman was taken some ingredients by his same way. He put in this soup potato and meat. They ate this soup together. He could eat soup free!!

The old man has normal stone. I was very surprised, because he was very full of wit. He was very poor, but he was very clever. So he could live. I think wisdom is very important. The old man had a power that he can attract people. He knew how to get ahead in the world. This book is very interesting for me. I want to get wisdom!!
