Once there was a village.The people there only cared about themselves.One day，a traveler arrived.Hungry and tired，he wished to find something to eat.Then he stopped at a house and knocked at the door.A woman opened the door.The traveler asked， "May I have something to eat？" The woman shook her head and closed the door without thinking.
    Then the traveler picked up a stone and knocked at the door again.
    "Perhaps you would be interested in my special stone soup!" the traveler said with a smile.The woman was surprised by this unusual suggestion."Stone soup？" she doubted，wondering what that would be.
    "Yes.I just need to borrow a pot of hot water，please，"the traveler added.Though she didn't want to，the woman still gave him some water.Then the traveler put his stone in it."It already tastes good，"he said."But if you had a little salt and butter，the soup would taste a lot better!"
    The woman brought him what he asked for，but she was not patient.Soon the word spread through the village and many people came，wanting to see what this stranger would do."It's almost finished，"the traveler said."But it would be even nicer if there were some carrots and potatoes."
    "I have potatoes，"said an old lady.
    "I have some carrots，"a young man answered.
    A few minutes later，these were added in.Soon，the air was filled with the nice smell."Is it ready？"the first woman asked."Yes，but if we can add some meat to the stone soup， it will taste more delicious，"he replied."I have beef，"shouted a man who was watching from a window.
    Having everything he wanted in the pot，the traveler tasted a spoon of the soup. "Perfect!"he laughed.Then，he gave everyone a bowl of his special stone soup."It's delicious!"said the villagers happily.At that moment，all of them finally realized the importance of sharing and supporting each other.
