Once a traveler came to a village, hungry. The villagers tried to stop the traveler from staying, fearing he wanted to give him food. They told him there was no food anywhere to be found. The traveler explained he didn't need any food and that in fact, he was planning to make a soup to share with all of them. The villagers watched strangely as he built a fire and filled a large pot with water. Then he pulled a stone from a bag, dropping the stone into the pot. He tasted the soup and said how delicious the stone soup was. As the villagers began to show interest, he said how good the soup would be with just a little cabbage in it. A villager brought out a cabbage to share. This event repeated itself until the soup had cabbage, carrots and onions indeed, a large soup that fed everyone in the village.
Are you like one of the villagers, holding back? If you come forward and share your gifts, you will encourage others to do the same. The reward is a gift that can benefit many.
