- Hello! - Hello!

- We have to wait.
He will come from here in an hour.
- An hour?
- Yes!
- Patience.
- But we don't have a clock!
- Yes! A water clock.
- Tick, tock... - Tick, tock...
- How nice!
- Yes!
- Over there.
- Look! It's Eric!
In times of war,
hunger and poverty
prices went up,
and families couldn't buy
because their pockets were empty.
Well, it turns out
that one day
a girl wandering through the village
noticed her stomach
growling with hunger.
At her home, there was nothing to eat
nothing was left.
She was a positive
and intelligent girl.
And seeking a solution
to her hunger,
she suddenly saw a pot
lying on the ground.
And she had a brilliant idea.
She picked it up and went to the river.
She filled the pot with fresh water.
And with some dry branches,
she made a fire.
She lit the fire,
and while waiting for the water to boil,
she glanced around
in case someone appeared.
Some children looked at her from afar,
thinking, "What a strange girl!"
while she used her hand to clean
some stones she picked up
and threw them into the pot.
The children, more curious than hungry,
came up and asked her
why she was doing something so strange.
- Stone soup - she replied.
- Stone soup?
- But have you lost your mind?
- You don't know how good it is!
But now the children
were more hungry than curious.
Everyone was hungry.
The food they were given at home
was not enough.
- What are you doing?
- Stone soup.
- I want some. - Me too! \- I'm hungry!
- Can we try it?
- Not yet.
- But it's very tasty.
- Although it would be better
with a pinch of salt.
- I have salt.
- Wait! I'll be right back.
The boy went home
and came back with some salt.
- Much better!
Although it would be better
if it had tomatoes.
And they brought tomatoes.
- It would be even more delicious
if it had lettuce.
- And celery!
And they brought celery.
- And carrots!
And chicken!
And potatoes!
And rice!
And bell pepper!
And everything each one
could bring.
- Carrots!
- At home, I have eggs!
- And I have chicken!
- And I have potatoes!
- Let's see now?
We got it!
The best stone soup
they had ever tasted.
The smell confirmed it.
- Go home for a plate and spoon
because there is soup for everyone
and sharing is the most delicious thing.
They lined up
in front of the person distributing the soup.
How delicious it was!
And what a clever girl.
And what a good lesson they had learned:
By sharing what little each one had,
they made a delicious soup for everyone.
