When I was a kid, my mom had this super smooth stone in one of the kitchen drawers. One day when I was told to clean the drawers out I found it and asked my mom why she had a stone in the kitchen drawer. She simply replied that it was the stone she used when she made stone soup. I was appalled that anyone would ever put a stone in their soup - but then she told me the story, and we may have even gone to the library (barely 200 yards from our home) and borrowed the book. I believe she made it for us later that week, I'm a little biased but I thought it was one of the best soups I'd ever had. Only equaled by the other soups my mom ever made. :)
I will never forget that experience. Some day, I hope to be able to provide a similar adventure to other children.
