About the Story
Ms. Becca tells us her version of a classic Russian folktale about a community that comes together to cook a large pot of stone soup--enough for everyone to share!
A young girl found herself lost, hungry, and tired while traveling. She stopped in a village, asking for a place to stay and some food to eat. An old man offered her a warm bed by the fire, but said he had no food to share.
“That’s okay, she said, “I have a magic stone that makes the most delicious soup.”
