To their surprise, villager after villager refuses to share, each one closing the door with a bang. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs they sit to rest beside a well, one of the travelers observes that if the townspeople have no food to share, they must be \"in greater need than we are.\" With that, the travelers demonstrate their special recipe for a magical soup, using a stone as a starter. All they need is a carrot, which a young girl volunteers. Not to be outdone, another villager contributes a potato, and the soup grows as others bring corn, celery, and other vegetables and seasonings. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this cumulative retelling of an ancient and widely circulated legend, author Heather Forest shows us that when each person makes a small contribution, \"the collective impact can be huge.\" Susan Gaber's paintings portray the optimism and timelessness of a story that celebrates teamwork and generosity.
