Three tired, hungry soldiers are marching down the road toward a quiet French village. The townspeople see them coming and quickly hide all their food under beds and in barns, hoping the strangers will just keep walking. But these soldiers have a clever trick up their sleeves. They claim they can make a delicious, magical soup using nothing but water and three round stones.
As the pot boils, the curious villagers slowly gather around. The soldiers wonder out loud if the soup might taste just a little bit better with a single carrot, or perhaps a bit of cabbage. Watch as the whole town gets caught up in the fun, working together to create a massive feast. You will love discovering how a little bit of sharing and a lot of clever thinking can turn an empty pot into a wonderful celebration for everyone.
