Now the soldier sees a small house. There is a tidy garden near it. A woman is watering the flowers in the garden.

"You have a nice garden. Let me rest here, please," says the soldier to the woman who lives in the house.

"I can let you rest here," says the woman, "but I can't feed you. There's no food in the house."

"No food?" asks the soldier. "That is very sad. But I can help you. I have a magic ['mædʒɪk] stone and I can make [meɪk] some very good soup from it. Give me a pot of hot water."

Now the woman gives him a pot of hot water. Our soldier puts a stone in the pot and begins to cook.

"The soup is nearly ready," says the soldier after some time. "Can you give me some beans [bi:nz] to put them in the pot?" he asks. "Yes," says the woman. So, the beans go into the pot too.

"Can you give me some meat [mi:t] to put it into the pot?" asks the soldier again. The woman gives him some meat. It goes into the pot too.

A lot of men and women see the soldier in the woman's garden. "What is he doing?" they ask. "He is making soup from a stone," the woman says. And the soldier asks the men and women to give him some food to make the soup better ['betə]. They all give him the little he asks for and that food goes into the pot too.

Now the soup is ready, it is very good and there is a lot of it. So, they all eat it and thank the soldier for his "magic" stone soup.
