My Favorite Season
There are four seasons in a year: spring, summer, fall and winter. My
favorite season is summer. In summer, the weather is hot. The plants start
growing. I see many flowers and trees, and I hear birds singing and bees
buzzing. I wear my T-shirt and shorts. I go swimming at beach with my father.
Also, I play beach games with my friends and relax on the warm sand. I like
ice cream and cool drinks when the weather is hot, because the ice cools
down the summer’s heat. Summer is my favorite season, and I like it very
much.

Read and analyze a sample paragraph.
Dogs Make the Best Pets
Dogs make the best pets for three reasons. First of all, dogs are
loyal. Dogs come when they’re called. And people get a warming
welcome when they coming home from a long day and being met at
the door by a dog. Second, dogs are friendly. Dogs love to play, lick
your face, sleep by your bed and wag their tails when they’re happy.
Third, they can be trained. They can learn to sit, shake hands, catch the
ball, and keep owner’s house safe. I like dogs. Dogs are loyal, friendly,
and can be trained. There is no doubt they make the best pets.

The stories of Stone Soup
Version 1:
A kindly, old stranger was walking through the land when he came upon a village. As he entered,
the villagers moved towards their homes locking doors and windows.
The stranger smiled and asked, why are you all so frightened? I am a simple traveler, looking for a
soft place to stay for the night and a warm place for a meal.
“There’s not a bite to eat in the whole province,” he was told. “We are weak and our children are
starving. Better keep moving on.”
“Oh, I have everything I need,” he said. “In fact, I was thinking of making some stone soup to
share with all of you.” He pulled an iron cauldron from his cloak, filled it with water, and began to
build a fire under it.
Then, with great ceremony, he drew an ordinary-looking stone from a silken bag and dropped it into
the water.
By now, hearing the rumor of food, most of the villagers had come out of their homes or watched
from their windows. As the stranger sniffed the “broth” and licked his lips in anticipation, hunger
began to overcome their fear.
“Ahh,” the stranger said to himself rather loudly, “I do like a tasty stone soup. Of course, stone
soup with cabbage — that’s hard to beat.”
Soon a villager approached hesitantly, holding a small cabbage he’d retrieved from its hiding place,
and added it to the pot.
“Wonderful!!” cried the stranger. “You know, I once had stone soup with cabbage and a bit of salt
beef as well, and it was fit for a king.”
The village butcher managed to find some salt beef . . . and so it went, through potatoes, onions,
carrots, mushrooms, and so on, until there was indeed a delicious meal for everyone in the village to
share.
The villager elder offered the stranger a great deal of money for the magic stone, but he refused to
sell it and traveled on the next day.
As he left, the stranger came upon a group of village children standing near the road. He gave the
silken bag containing the stone to the youngest child, whispering to a group, It was not the stone,
but the villagers that had performed the magic.”
Moral: By working together, with everyone contributing what they can, a greater good is
achieved.

Version 2:
Three soldiers trudged down a road in a strange country. They were on their way home from the
wars. Besides being tired, they were hungry. In fact, they had eaten nothing for two days.
"How I would like a good dinner tonight," said the first. "And a bed to sleep in," added the second.
"But that is impossible," said the third.
On they marched, until suddenly, ahead of them, they saw the lights of a village. "Maybe we'll find
a bite to eat and a bed to sleep in," they thought.
Now the peasants of the place feared strangers. When they heard that three soldiers were coming
down the road, they talked among themselves. "Here come three soldiers," they said. "Soldiers are
always hungry. But we have so little for ourselves." And they hurried to hide their food. They hid
the barley in hay lofts, carrots under quilts, and buckets of milk down the wells. They hid all they
had to eat. Then they waited.
The soldiers stopped at the first house. "Good evening to you," they said. "Could you spare a bit of
food for three hungry soldiers?" "We have no food for ourselves," the residents lied. "It has been a
poor harvest."
The soldiers went to the next house. "Could you spare a bit of food?" they asked. "And do you have
a corner where we could sleep for the night?" "Oh, no," the man said. "We gave all we could spare
to the soldiers who came before you." "And our beds are full," lied the woman.
At each house, the response was the same -- no one had food or a place for the soldiers to stay. The
peasants had very good reasons, like feeding the sick and children. The villagers stood in the street
and sighed. They looked as hungry as they could.
The soldiers talked together. The first soldier called out, "Good people! We are three hungry
soldiers in a strange land. We have asked you for food and you have no food. Well, we will have to
make stone soup." The peasants stared.
The soldiers asked for a big iron pot, water to fill it, and a fire to heat it. "And now, if you please,
three round smooth stones." The soldiers dropped the stones into the pot.
"Any soup needs salt and pepper," the first soldier said, so children ran to fetch salt and pepper.
"Stones make good soup, but carrots would make it so much better," the second soldier added. One
woman said, "Why, I think I have a carrot or two!" She ran to get the carrots.
"A good stone soup should have some cabbage, but no use asking for what we don't have!" said the
third soldier. Another woman said, "I think I can probably find some cabbage," and off she scurried.
14
"If only we had a bit of beef and some potatoes, this soup would be fit for a rich man's table." The
peasants thought it over, then ran to fetch what they had hidden in their cellars. A rich man's soup,
and all from a few stones! It seemed like magic!
The soldiers said, "If only we had a bit of barley and some milk, this soup would be fit for a king!"
And so the peasants managed to retrieve some barley and milk.
"The soup is ready," said the cooks, "and all will taste it, but first we need to set the tables." Tables
and torches were set up in the square, and all sat down to eat. Some of the peasants said, "Such a
great soup would be better with bread and cider," so they brought forth the last two items and the
banquet was enjoyed by all. Never had there been such a feast. Never had the peasants tasted such
delicious soup, and all made from stones! They ate and drank and danced well into the night.
The soldiers asked again if there was a loft where they might sleep for the night. "Oh, no!" said the
townfolk. "You wise men must have the best beds in the village!" So one soldier spent the night in
the priest's house, one in the baker's house, and one in the mayor's house.
In the morning, the villagers gathered to say goodbye. "Many thanks to you," the people said, "for
we shall never go hungry now that you have taught us how to make soup from stones!"
Version 3:
Once upon a time, there was a village.
It was a nice place to live except for one thing. People did not like to share.
One day a visitor came to town.
“Hello! Does anyone have food to share?” he asked.
“No !” said everyone.
“That OK,” said the visitor. “I will make stone soup for everyone.”
Then he took a stone and dropped it into a giant pot.
The visitor sniffed his broth. Some people came outside to see what he was doing. Some watched
from their windows.
“Mmmm, I love stone soup. The only thing better is stone soup with cabbage!” said the visitor.
That gave one man in the village an idea. He brought a cabbage and put it in the pot.
Then the visitor said, “I once had a stone soup with cabbage and carrots. It was delicious!”
A woman brought carrots and put them in the pot.
Then the visitor said, “I once had stone soup with cabbage and carrots and corn. It was delicious!”
A boy brought carrots and put them in the pot.
Then the visitor said, “I once had stone soup with cabbage and carrots and corn and beans. It was
15
delicious!”
A girl brought beans and put them in the pot .
The soup cooked and cooked.
Finally, it was ready. Everyone ate a big bowl. “This is delicious!” they all said.
The soup made them so happy that they dance and sang all night long.
From then on, the people in the village shared. And their very favorite thing to share was stone
soup!
Stone soup is a wonderful story to share with children in a group setting (daycare, school, church,
Brownies, etc). Share the story one day, the next day have all the children bring vegetables,
herbs and/or spices (you can assign things to bring for a well rounded soup or let the children
bring whatever they like for a mystery pot).
Have you ever wondered if just one person can really make a difference?
There are thousands of ways each of us can make a difference. A helping hand extended to a
neighbor or a stranger creates a more caring world. Reading to children enriches their present
and open op their future. A gift to a church or a charity helps those helping others. One kind
word or a thoughtful deed can change someone’s day – or make history. It’s amazing what one
person can do. And that person is you!
