When a few villagers asked 1 he was doing, he said that he was making stone soup which was a recipe passed down from his father. He then dropped a round stone into the pot.

    Then the traveler told the villagers stories of his travels and the 2 things he'd seen. He 3 his soup and said it was nice, but a bit of salt would be better. One villager went home and came back with some 4 for the soup.

A few more villagers stopped to see what was going on when they heard the traveler speaking. The traveler told 5 stories and said that some carrots or onions would be nice to the 6 soup. So another villager said he could give a few carrots and brought them from his home.
