There is a story which has traveled around the world, it is a folk tale. Goes like this.
Once a village was beset by drought, famine, and sickness. No one had anything to eat, An old woman walked into the village square with a heavy pot and sticks She was hunched over and wore a thin coat. She stood in the middle of the village when a man approached,. "What do you think you are doing?" he asked. She replied, "If I had just a few sticks, just a few to put in my pot, I could start a fire to boil some water." He nodded, feeling sympathy for her "I will bring sticks to you." He brought sticks and built a fire. Another man passed by, "What are you doing here?" he asked. Again she looked up. "If I had just one potato I could make soup." He sighed, "Beggar," he said, "I will give you a potato." She dropped it in the pot an continue to stir. A young woman came by, "Are you crazy?" The woman asked. "Oh, if I had just a little cabbage I would have soup." And soon cabbage went into her kettle. All day the passersby would walk by the old woman with their deposits of venison, carrots until the evening. That evening the old woman walked to the steps of the church and pulled the rope on the bell, something which was done only in emergency. The people returned, aghast and fearful. "What have you done you crazy old woman?" She replied, "I am inviting you to my feast. This morning I had only a stone and water and a kettle, I want to give back what you gave to me." And so from stone and fire came the rock soup, loved by all. Stevan Associates are sharing what we know with our clients. Advertising is necessary, We want you to have what you need.
