<<In India, we heard this story, told seriously, after which type of story there was nothing to say.>>

I heard a story about a handful of troops in a war who went into a village where no troops were welcome. Instead of asking for or demanding food they started a fire and hung a large pot over it. They put in some water and 3 rocks.

When asked about it they said they were making rock soup. Now the villagers were interested. One villager tried it and said it needed carrots which were produced. Another found it shy of onions which were then produced. One after another potatoes, beef, beans, chickens were added to the pot.

Finally the soldiers and the villagers had a fine feast from the sharing of all the ingredients. Rock soup goes a long way.
