BERLIN, Vt. (AP) — The Montessori School of Central Vermont observed what's become a Thanksgiving tradition of serving stone soup.
The folk story of Stone Soup is told of hungry travelers who come to a village. No one in the village is willing to share food with the strangers. The travelers respond by telling the villagers that they will teach them how to make soup out of stones. One by one, villagers make an offering to the soup of various ingredients until a feast is born.
At the Montessori School in Berlin, the kids acted out the story, each bringing in an ingredient and making their own stone soup, biscuits and flower arrangements.
School Administrator Lana Bodach-Turner says the lesson is when everyone contributes even just a little, something bigger can be created.
