“Any soup needs salt and pepper,”the first soldier said,__4__ some children ran to fetch salt and pepper.“Stones can be used to prepare good soup,but tomatoes would __5__ it so much better,” the second soldier added.

“Some cabbage would be a proper choice for a good stone soup! ”said the third soldier. Another woman said,“I think I can probably find some cabbage,”and __6__ she ran.

“If only we had a bit of beef and some potatoes,this soup would be fit for a rich man's __7__.”The villagers thought it over,then ran to fetch what they had in their homes. A rich man's soup,and all from a few stones! It seemed like __8__!

The soldiers said“, If only we had a little milk,this soup would be fit for a king! ”And so other villagers __9__ to get some milk.

“The soup is ready,”said the cooks,“and all will __10__ it,but first we need to set the tables.”Some of the villagers said,“Such a great soup would be better __11__ some bread and cakes,”so they brought the __12__ two things and the meal was __13__ by all. Never had there been such a __14__ meal. Never had the villagers had such delicious soup,and all made from stones! They ate and drank and danced well into the night.

In the morning,the villagers gathered to say goodbye.“Many thanks to you,”they said,“for we shall __15__ go hungry now that we have learned how to make soup from stones.”
