Stone Soup Story Pot Live Bring Published Made

"Stone Soup" is a "folk story" (an old story that is shared among many generations, especially orally) in which a hungry traveler arrives at a town and begins to cook by placing a "stone" (rock) in a pot with some water, bringing it to a boil over a fire. The "townspeople" (the people who live in the town) watch him with "curiosity" (with interest, wanting to learn more) as he says things like, "This would be even better with a carrot," or "It's delicious, but an onion would really bring out the flavor." And, one at a time, the townspeople bring those items, so that in the end they have a delicious pot of soup and everyone shares it.

In 1947, the story was written as a children' book "of the same name" (also called "Stone Soup") by Marcia Brown. In that version, the story was about soldiers who were "tricking" (making someone do something that he or she would not normally do) "villagers" (people who live in a village) into giving them food.

Stone Soup is also a magazine that "features" (shows; highlights) artwork, poems, and stories that have been created by children. It was first published in 1973 and it is still published today.

The concept of "stone soup" now has a larger meaning and can refer to anything made with the small contributions of many people. For example, "Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup" is a computer game that was made from the contributions of many different "coders" (programmers).
