Summary: Three soldiers trudged down a road in a strange country on their way home from the wars. Besides being tired, they were hungry. The peasants hid all they had to eat, worried that they didn't have enough food to share. The soldiers then offered to make the people a rich man's soup from three simple stones. But of course, stone soup tastes better with a carrot or two... The curious peasants began to offer ingredients for this strange dish. Together, they did indeed make a very delicious "stone soup."
