Many years ago, three soldiers came back from the battlefield, hungry and tired. At this time, they came to a small village. However, due to the poor harvest and years of war, the villagers quickly hid their own food, received soldiers in the village square, and rubbed their hands and lamented how much food they lacked. The soldiers talked calmly with the villagers. The first soldier said to the elders in the village, "Since your land harvest is not good and you can't give us anything to eat, we will share all our secrets with you: how to make soup with stones." Naturally, the villagers were curious, and soon they started a fire and set up the biggest pot in the city. The soldiers threw three smooth stones into the pot. "This will be a good pot of soup," said the second soldier. "But it would be better if there were a pinch of salt and some parsley!" A villager jumped up and shouted, "What luck! I just remembered that there are still some left at home! " So she ran home and came back with an apron full of parsley and a radish. As the water in the pot gradually boils, the villagers' memories are getting better and better. Soon, barley, carrots, beef and cream were put into the cauldron.

They ate ~ danced ~ sang ~ until late at night, and wonderful parties and new friends refreshed everyone. When three soldiers woke up in the morning, they found all the villagers standing in front of them. There is a bag of the best bread and cheese in the village at their feet. "You gave us the best gift: the secret of how to make soup with stones," said an elder. "We will never forget this." The third soldier turned to everyone and said, "There is no secret, but one thing is certain: we can only hold a party if everyone shares it." Say that finish, they set foot on the road again and walked slowly.
