BR 2-07: Stone Soup

“ “I can make soup from a stone,” said the man.” ( p.6).

Once, there was a poor man. One day, he came to a cottage and knocked the cottage. An old woman opened the door, but she didn’t want to enter him in the cottage. But, he said “ I can make soup from a stone.” Then she entered because she wanted to see it. The old man added a shiny stone in a big pot of water. After added it, a lot of foods were popped them in. Finally, the old woman had the soup. “ It is yummy, that stone must be magic!!,” she said. The old man smiled, and he washed the stone and put it in his pocket. “ Stay for supper,” said the woman. “ We can have soup.”

I think this story is little bit strange. We can’t know who the old man is. And then the old man have a stone which is able to make delicious soup, but I can’t know the reason why he has a stone which become delicious soup. If this is real story, I can’t believe it because of scary. What the effect does this stone put in? The old woman popped many kind of foods in, so of course, it will become delicious. This book has a lot of doubts, but this book is interesting.
