"And I have some good onions I can put in!" said another neighbor.
"I have some fresh carrots!" said another.
"I have some celery!" added another.
"And I have some home-grown tomatoes!!" said another.
"Clean 'em. Chop 'em and throw 'em in!" smiled the young soldier. This Stone Soup will be the BEST EVER!"
"And I will fetch some of MY fresh baked bread rolls." added a jolly-looking young woman. They always taste good with soup!"
"Wonderful!" exclaimed the young soldier. "This plain Stone Soup is turning into a hearty meal!"
"Someone go wake Old George!" someone shouted, "and tell him to bring his fiddle and rosin up his bow--it looks like we're gonna have a STONE SOUP PARTY!"
And every one smiled, laughed and begin to skip and hum their favorite songs!
