This is a story a out confidence, spontaneity, a sense of humor, and a willingness to share your bounty with others.

Stone Soup
This story had a different moral for me than the narrator. I learned that if you are willing to share what you have with others, no matter how small, others will share with you and the results will be better for everyone.

I’ve heard this story before. But every time I hear it, it has it’s own spin on it. The story itself is beautiful. To me, the moral of the story is to honestly never give up. The woman could have made that her last meal, but she used her resources to create something more than soup, she created a meal.

I learnt that in order to achieve a great thing, we must start off small and keep adding things to make it even better

I learned that the oldest of stories can still teach us new ways of understanding.

A lot of the time things may seem insurmountable to start. The woman had to stifle her hunger and all she had was water. But she started none the less, without everything ready at that moment. Same goes for project and goals in life. You’re not going to have all the pieces of the puzzle when you start out, a lot of them will be collected on the way, and the way will even shape some of them for you that you didn’t know you needed. But the essential thing to do is start, because if you don’t, nothing will ever happen

I think the moral of this story is to always make the most of whatever you have. You can start with anything and end up with something new every time. Just try. “It is better to try and fail, then fail to try.”

My brother made us stone soup
This story can have so many morals I am sure. Mine is a bit personal. My brother must have heard this story one day when he was in school. Because when I came home one day he had a pot of rocks from our backyard boiling in a pot on a stove. I asked him what he was making and he said “we are having Stone Soup for dinner.” I muttered and said we can’t eat rocks. Well, he had me searching in the refrigerator and cabinets for whatever I could find. I don’t remember much of what was in it but I remember the sweetness of the cooked apples making it edible! My mom couldn’t take care of us. But, against odds, we survived. This story reminds me, that I am a survivor. That, even in this difficult time that my husband and I are facing, we will survive.

Not exactly the story I’ve heard so many times
This is a classic tale, typically not about a traveler, but a gullible village who learned the value of helping each other...something they should have done in the first place out of their own abundance, but fun to hear them “tricked” into contributing to the pot anyway. When we come together, we’re stronger. Better. Locally, there is a Stone Soup festival, which I, at one time, typically created many signs, posters and banners for. It was a gathering of storytellers and musical acts. And, of course, featured plenty of good food and drink! One of the many things which used to feature in my life; sadly do so no longer. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I do miss the work. The daily activity. The sense of helping and belonging. 😨😰😥

my take!
Take what you have and make the best of it! Also, working together makes for stronger results sometimes.
