This illustration of Stone Soup (Hungarian Variant) details the naïveté of an old woman who encounters a soldier that, after asking for food which is then refused to him, claims he can make soup with a stone.
Throughout the tale, the soup is improved by the old woman's added ingredients, creating a delicious soup.
She then purchases the stone from the soldier, believing that if she ever runs out of food, she'll at least always have some soup.
