That's kind of the point. It wasn't that people had nothing. They just didn't want to share. People are more willing to share if they think they are getting something out of it.
Cat Lorde she is lying beacuse in 1870s lot of people poor in hungary and didnt like share beacuse cant afford the lot of food trust me im half hungarian i know
I like other versions better because he takes something little from everyone to make the soup. So, one person has a carrot, and that's it. The next person has a potato, and so on. When you combine everything, you can make soup, and everyone gets to enjoy the meal.
My Grandma said during WW2 they didn't have much to eat, the war ended the soldiers needed shoes, coats, jackets would come leave blankets in exchange. Some days you wait 15 mins for a hen to lay an egg so you could eat...
I heard a different version from my mom where a soldier was wondering home and like with this version he was turned away from every house and was very hungry but instead he got a big pot and boiled water in it outside where everyone could see then he added the rocks to it when someone asked "what are you making?" And he said "stone soup although it is better with a potato" and the person said "I have a potato but nothing more" so they brought it and put it in the soup and then another person asked the same thing and the soldier said "stone soup but I find it better with a carrot" and the person said "I have a carrot but nothing more" and brought it and they put it in to and this continued where meny people brought together what little they had and made a wonderful soup that they all enjoyed together and where very happy and after they all ate the soldier went on his way to find his way home again
@@Starmadien2019 yea, for kids is an interesting story, is usually used to explain cooperation, inclusivity (in the version in which everyone put something in the soup) and, of course, smartness :)
Yeah, that is the version I remember. Everyone contributes something. This story is more a trickster story, whereas the version you describe is about cooperation, and I think superior.This guy swindles old ladies, which is not a particularly good moral.
I like the version of this story where the whole village makes the stone soup. It takes on a completely different meaning: "Divided we are weak, together we are strong." In this version, it just becomes a parable about how a man cleverly tricks an old woman.
David Boucard A very stupid old woman at that, “I have nothing! But salt, and sausage, and potatoes, and vegetables, and fat, and rice...wait a minuet!” XD
I like how he never calls the woman out on being a liar. It shows good character, how it's more important and beneficial to build a relationship than to be right.
I think morale of the story is that a lot of us usually take our blessings for granted; we always think and feel that we don’t have any wealth, but it takes perspective to realise that, indeed, we have everything that we need.
I think it's more along the lines of people will be stingy to those genuinely in need, but if you put forth effort and show you're trying they're willing to give of their own stock to help out. It's the old beggar vs humble worker attitude, and turning into a worker/ group project rather than absorbing everyone else's gracious gifts is a far more meritous stance.
In Finland, we say rat, instead of mouse. "Poor as a churh rat". Churh rat, by the way, is also a kids game. It's kind of mix between tag and hide-and-seek.
We did this at my elementary school! They made a big pot full of stone soup, and we all had to bring a single ingredient, like the original tale, where everyone in the village coughed up a little something, instead of it all being just one woman. Then we all had the soup for lunch. It was awesome. ❤
i heard a different one, where he was wandering with his stone, and he got to an old ladies home, she had barely anything, and the community was poor. but the man convinced them that his rock could make any soup taste great. "does anyone have a single leek? a single sausage?" asking for just one thing each time, from everyone, and together they made an amazing soup. they asked him how the rock worked, and he told them that the strength of their hearts made the soup taste great, the rock just gave them the last nudge of confidence they needed to share some of their food for the common good
THIS! THIS IS THE ONE EPISODE I REMEMBERED FROM THEN I WATCHED IT IN MY CHILDHOOD!!! :D I KNEW IT HAD TO BE THIS CARTOON WITH THIS INTRO AND OUTRO! I'VE BEEN SEARCHING IT FOR YEARS! *THANK YOUUU*
I remember this tale as a very young child. My grade school was even so inspired to make stone soup after the very recipe but with added ingredients. Honestly it was very silly but fun nevertheless for we all had a part in it.
Meaning of this story: The stone was pointless, it didn't do anything to the soup except the soldier knew the woman was lying of having nothing and so he tricked the old woman onto getting everything she has to make a soup.

I’m Ukrainian and I know a similar story. It’s called каша из топора which means porridge from an axe. It’s about a soldier coming through and finding baba yaga who tries to eat him because there is nothing else. He says there is other food! you can eat porridge with an axe. She’s confused and he makes the porridge slowly while she unconsciously gives him more ingredients he asks for. Eventually they actually make porridge. Haha nostalgia.
I remembered this story when i was a kid and was lowkey impressed at how the man tricked the old woman to help him make soup using "what little food" she has. Still impressed now
in Portugal and Brazil, this story is one of the tales of Pedro Malazarte, a folkloric character famous for using his cunning to get what he wants, from riches to cheating death. In fact, stone soup is a typical Portuguese dish.
Fun fact: The song that plays when the solider walks barefoot at the beginning is actually a Hungarian solider song from the 1848's, the era of the "freedom war". It's called Kossuth Lajos azt üzente. That means Kossuth Lajos messaged that. Or Lajos Kossuth since the Hungarian names are changed. Here are the lyrcs: Kossuth Lajos azt üzente Elfogyott a regimentje. Ha még egyszer ezt üzeni, Mindnyájunk el kell menni. Éljen a magyar szabadság, Éljen a haza. Rough translations: Lajos Kossuth messaged that He is out of soliders. If he messages this one more time, We all need to go. Live the Hungarian freedom. Live the homeland. That's it, I hope you enjoyed my rather long comment and found it interesting.
I’m German American but a third of my family is Austrian, my dad always talks about old stories some of which I haven’t heard before, this happened to be one of them and I’m happy to have looked it up, I might make some stone soup myself
i like the other version better where everyone is poor and keeps to themselves and only has enough food for themselves and the traveler does the same process but each villager has just one of the ingredients and in the end the whole village chips in and everyone has a wonderful meal. in this version the man is just an snake oils salesman who cons a single stupid person. but i think if you combine both stories and create a middle you get a much better story. first he cons the first senile old woman. then he tries it again he find another senile old woman but right as the soup is being finished her 3 sons return home after a hard days work to see this man sitting down they ask what is going on and the mom tells them of stone soup and that he needed all this food to complete it. they realize he coned there old mother out of all the house holds food. they then kick the crap out of him and have him place in the stockade for a month. after he is released he vows to never con again. in the third act he staving but then is stuck with a bit in genuis. and in this version he brings the whole village together and they all make a feast together and there is singing and dancing and the whole village builds better relationship with each other. and in the end the solder learns that there is indeed a correct way and an incorrect way to make stone soup even if it is just a stone.
I enjoyed this story when I was a child, though it was slightly different. The soldier walked into the village and went to each house and asked for food, only to be turned away by each member who told them they barely had enough food for themselves. So the soldier went to the center of town to boil a giant pot of water, placing into it a few handfuls of small stones and began boiling it. Each time a person from a different house walked outside and asked what he was doing, when he would say he was making Stew made of Stone and that he needed a certain ingredient and promised them some of the soup if they would give him some - which the house just so happened to have. This went on until there was a grant stew which the villagers ate together, all of them surprised at how a man could create that stew out of nothing but stone. The man admitted to the people that he didn't make the soup from stone, but the food they had given him and the villagers learned to corporate with one another. No - I do not believe that this story is/was an analogy for socialism. The people who didn't contribute to the stew did not receive good, only the people who paid for it with their own material goods. If anything, this is an analogy of what good people can do when they come together and work together for greater profit than doing so alone.
The first I've heard of this was from an old Disney book with Daisy and Scrooge called 'Button Soup'. Scrooge was greedy to his neighbors and hid and hoarded away everything he had, while Daisy did much like the soldier had and swindled her uncle of hidden ingredients to make the soup, before persuading him to share it with everyone. The idea of the story was that you could make a giant feast out of anything, as long as everyone shared the burden together. Great memories of childhood! ^^
My, tears came to my eyes after watching one of my childhood's favorite tales so perfectly translated, and to see in the comments a lot of people share my joy, it is just so heartwarming. Thank you, you just made my day.
I think what could have saved this version is have it be implied the old woman figures out what the young man is up to and she goes along with it anyway because she finds his resourcefulness admirable and wants to help him out (but didn’t at first because of needing to eat herself), and then taking out the part where he scammed her out of her money. Maybe even have him stay with her to help her out around the home as an exchange for providing him a place to live off of the street (as a thank you for his service as a soldier.)
This has to be one of my favorite fairy tales I ove your animation style! In the version I grew up with, the soldier made the soup in a village square or something and it was a community event. It was a good lesson that even if everyone has practically nothing, if they gather what little they have together you can make something great.
I remember as a kid I grew up reading the story of stone soup as a child and I am from the USA. But the version I read was a beggar who wanted soup. I didn't know the story had hungarian roots? :D neat
Wait what is the lesson of this story? Old women lie about their food? Don't trust soldiers? If you don't want to say no to people, get a dog that will scare them away? If people won't give you what you want, just yank them?
Even as a hungarian I can't tell you, but because of you I started to think about and I maybe got an answer for you. This hungarian folk tales told to each other in family meetings (usally working) in the old times, and they get written down. I think the hungarian folk tales have to task: 1. To make you happy. 2. To teach you something about the world so you wound't die. ( I mean in the 17 century if you were hungry then steal food and ect. like this) Come on! I mean there is a tale about an old poor dad who have 7-8 children and they don't have any money or food so the dad goes and work for the devils and trick them from their gold. (Hungarian Folk Tales: Seven at One Blow)
the version we had in our school text books was different, the whole town comes together to cook the soup, each neighbor bring a different ingredient and then they all eat it together, great childhood memories :,)
NessLover94 In hungary we had quite a few war for our freedom. Some of them was really badly lost, and the soldiers are became poor wanderers trying to get home. So we had lots of storys and songs about these soldiers. If you interested the song on the beggining is called : Kossuth Lajos azt üzente. It's about one of the leader of one of the wars ( Kossuth Lajos ) messaged that he lost all of his soldiers, and if he message again all of us have to go.
This channel reminds me of my childhood, even though im only 23 years old. I love the feeling i get when hearing the music and listening to the tale, thanks!
A wonderful story, I showed this to some of my friends and we made some soup with a stone and it was really good, thank you to the Hungarian soldier for this recipe!
I'm British, but I remember reading this, as a child, nearly 60 years ago. It obviously made a considerable impression, as I have often re-told it over the years.
We read this story and made stone soup in third grade, but I had no idea it was a Hungarian folk tale. Never thought I would stumble across this video 14 years later.
There's another version of that story where i come from. In a village full of greedy people the soldier cooked his soup in the middle of the town instead of going house to house. Same things happen one person gets what ingredient he/she has and puts it in the pot until it's complete. The soldier shared it with the villagers for sharing what they had and they then learned how to share. I prefer our version because i don't like the idea of fooling old women into letting him in their house and getting money for just a piece of rock.
I grew up with thr same version! Such a better story, and each family had only to contribute a single ingredient so it wasn't any trouble for them at all!
Here in brazil, i heard some very similar tales about a stone soup, though most of them were with a little boy, usually very poor, instead of a soldier. this brought back some memories of tales i used to hear as a kid, thank you!
I think this soldier passed in Portugal too... we have same story, funny :). Stone soup from a beggar challenged by the population on a Village (a little bit of this and that make a soup). Anyways the message is universal and that's what matters. Cheers
Thank you for making these, it's been very interesting to learn new stories and the Hungarian version of old favorites such as this one. I'd heard it as "Button Soup," and the version in which the whole village contributes. I wanna say it was a Disney storybook. For some reason I always remembered it as "stone" soup though.
I like the witty soldier.. This story also inspire us not to loose hope in troubles and use the most important thing God has gifted to the humans to cope with them..😇
They told this story when I was in Elementary school… As a kid, I didn’t know it was a Hungarian Story, They even made the soup in school, minus the Stone…
Ah...I remembered this tale. It was one of my favourite when I was a kid as I think it was very clever. But the version was that the whole village knew about the soup and they each brought a little of everything.
That's a really nice variation of the story I got told, the one I heard, it was the poorest person in a village suffering from starvation, who starting making the soup in the square. And each person, thinking he was a fool gave a bit of something to add to the pot out of pity.
There are versions of this story everywhere. Sometimes it's Stone Soup. Sometimes it's Nail Soup. Sometimes it's Ax Soup. They even used this story as part of Jim Henson's The Storyteller.
We have a similar folk tale in the Philippines. But instead of one woman giving all the ingredients, the whole neighborhood shared what ingredients they only have.
I've heard this story before while growing up, only instead of tricking one lady into giving him ingredients, he tricked everyone in town into sharing something for the soup & the whole town got to feast without the families causing themselves financial downfall. The moral was that even in hard times, if everyone comes together then none will be without the basic necessities.
Interesting. I am American and grew up hearing this story, but instead of a man swindling people out of a meal and money, it was a moral lesson on helping out and chipping in. The whole town come together to create a big vat of stone soup and in the end, each person's individual contribution made a wonderful meal for everyone to enjoy together.
I'm born and raised from California and when I was in first grade we performed this story as a play in my classroom. I'm of Hungarian descent and never knew this story was originally a Hungarian folk tale. It made me very happy to see this story once again and to find out that it comes from where my family originally came from.
I remember when I was a child in school(from Ireland) stone soup was one of the stories in our English book. I'd no idea it was a Hungarian folk tale haha
When I was a child I learned a version of this story from Mexico where instead of stone, he uses a cactus spine, and he tricks a whole town that refuses to give him anything. “We’re all so poor.” they say, but everyone was willing to give him “Whatever ‘little bits’ of what he needed that they had left.”
So I found a video from Life of Boris where he tells another version of this story where it’s an axe instead of a stone. I thought it’s something he made up, so I searched for it and it is indeed real. Glad to see this.
Such a classic story!!!!! And yet I had no idea my ancestrial country of Hungary had it's own version of the story!!!!!! I really do love the content on this channel!!!!!
It’s funny I remember something similar from kindergarten, we were told to bring a rock to make rock soup, because of a story we heard. I remember thinking it was amazing soup, but couldn’t find the rock. When I saw the title for this, it brought back that memory even though I couldn’t recall the tale. 😊 thank you
I remember this story from my childhood. It's still great. Edit: this version is a little different, the entire village contributed in his soup. In this one the old lady had all the food and ingredients.
Aqui no Brasil nós temos uma versão dessa história com um personagem chamado em alguns lugares de Pedro Malasartes e de Bertolo em outros. É conhecida como a sopa de pedra, mas tem outras histórias ainda mais engraçadas.
I think this classic tale was common in the whole area of former Austria-Hungarian Empire. In school, I've learned German and we read this as classic German tale (there was old beggar instead of soldier I think). Here in Slovakia we know this tale also - in this version the soup is cooked from the axe head.
In the country I live, there is an actual traditional soup, called stone soup, the story beind it is very similar to this tale, and they also teach it to little kids in kindergarden
В России есть сказка, где солдат варит кашу из топора. Считалось, что солдату всегда полагается угощение. Но скупая хозяйка хотела не давала ничего и жаловалась на бедность. Оказалась чудесная каша с мясом.
“I have nothing” (has everything)
That's kind of the point. It wasn't that people had nothing. They just didn't want to share. People are more willing to share if they think they are getting something out of it.
Ikr
Thats my friends.
Cat Lorde she is lying beacuse in 1870s lot of people poor in hungary and didnt like share beacuse cant afford the lot of food trust me im half hungarian i know
I like other versions better because he takes something little from everyone to make the soup. So, one person has a carrot, and that's it. The next person has a potato, and so on. When you combine everything, you can make soup, and everyone gets to enjoy the meal.
Old woman: I dont even a crumb of bread
Has sausage
For someone who had nothing she had rice sausages carrots and potatoes! So that's called nothing?
The old woman was doing whet everyone else was doing; lying about how much food she had so she didn’t have to feed the soldier.
My Grandma said during WW2 they didn't have much to eat, the war ended the soldiers needed shoes, coats, jackets would come leave blankets in exchange. Some days you wait 15 mins for a hen to lay an egg so you could eat...
She so lied to the man..
hey, its hungary... :D

So the soldier went to the center of town to boil a giant pot of water, placing into it a few handfuls of small stones and began boiling it. Each time a person from a different house walked outside and asked what he was doing, when he would say he was making Stew made of Stone and that he needed a certain ingredient and promised them some of the soup if they would give him some - which the house just so happened to have. This went on until there was a grant stew which the villagers ate together, all of them surprised at how a man could create that stew out of nothing but stone. The man admitted to the people that he didn't make the soup from stone, but the food they had given him and the villagers learned to corporate with one another.
No - I do not believe that this story is/was an analogy for socialism. The people who didn't contribute to the stew did not receive good, only the people who paid for it with their own material goods. If anything, this is an analogy of what good people can do when they come together and work together for greater profit than doing so alone.
Moral of the story, get your foot in the door to get your goal.
Can we all just relate to that cat's expressions for a minute? Lol
"i have nothing to eat"
**camera pans to cat**
The first I've heard of this was from an old Disney book with Daisy and Scrooge called 'Button Soup'. Scrooge was greedy to his neighbors and hid and hoarded away everything he had, while Daisy did much like the soldier had and swindled her uncle of hidden ingredients to make the soup, before persuading him to share it with everyone. The idea of the story was that you could make a giant feast out of anything, as long as everyone shared the burden together. Great memories of childhood! ^^
“I’m as poor as a church mouse” **Has everything**
i'm from hungary and i'm so happy that there is actual people watching these, my heart is warmed up lmao
My family is of Hungarian descent and these videos have helped me learn more about my heritage. So thank you
My, tears came to my eyes after watching one of my childhood's favorite tales so perfectly translated, and to see in the comments a lot of people share my joy, it is just so heartwarming. Thank you, you just made my day.
I love them from Romania! I wish we had this kind of cartoons too...
M.Csanad Ahem, kind of.
I think what could have saved this version is have it be implied the old woman figures out what the young man is up to and she goes along with it anyway because she finds his resourcefulness admirable and wants to help him out (but didn’t at first because of needing to eat herself), and then taking out the part where he scammed her out of her money. Maybe even have him stay with her to help her out around the home as an exchange for providing him a place to live off of the street (as a thank you for his service as a soldier.)
This has to be one of my favorite fairy tales I ove your animation style! In the version I grew up with, the soldier made the soup in a village square or something and it was a community event. It was a good lesson that even if everyone has practically nothing, if they gather what little they have together you can make something great.
hypnojon32 This story taught me that people are extremely deceptive too. 😈
oh my god..... i used to watch this as a small kid every time they came on tv i was allowed to watch them for a bit ... awh the memories.....
I remember as a kid I grew up reading the story of stone soup as a child and I am from the USA. But the version I read was a beggar who wanted soup. I didn't know the story had hungarian roots? :D neat
Annyira örülök, hogy láttam a csodálatos magyar országot
I love this channel! My son and I use these for bedtime stories :)
Gonna ask
How many have seen this pop-up in their feed this week ?
Damn,the nostalgia of these things.Glad to see em on the web.
Wait what is the lesson of this story? Old women lie about their food? Don't trust soldiers? If you don't want to say no to people, get a dog that will scare them away? If people won't give you what you want, just yank them?
Even as a hungarian I can't tell you, but because of you I started to think about and I maybe got an answer for you.
This hungarian folk tales told to each other in family meetings (usally working) in the old times, and they get written down.
I think the hungarian folk tales have to task: 1. To make you happy. 2. To teach you something about the world so you wound't die. ( I mean in the 17 century if you were hungry then steal food and ect. like this)
Come on! I mean there is a tale about an old poor dad who have 7-8 children and they don't have any money or food so the dad goes and work for the devils and trick them from their gold. (Hungarian Folk Tales: Seven at One Blow)
Also It so much better with the hungarian dub if you have time watch that also. (Magyar népmesék: Hetet egy csapásra)
Fabo thanks, i might check it out
Cleverness often brings rewards.
Be witty and you will get your way
I had no idea this was translated to English. Well, I'm glad most of you guys ejoy it! Hungarian Folk Tales were my childhood.
Am I the only one feeling bad for the cat at 4:43?
Nah, you're not alone! 😺
As a hungarian i can say... I never knew english exist from this.. And that these were more fun to watch than the modern 21th century movies..
I'm sorry, but hatchet soup clearly tastes better than stone soup. Some Russian guy told me this
the version we had in our school text books was different, the whole town comes together to cook the soup, each neighbor bring a different ingredient and then they all eat it together, great childhood memories :,)
In the version in my home country the main character was a poor wanderer who used a nail.
NessLover94 In hungary we had quite a few war for our freedom. Some of them was really badly lost, and the soldiers are became poor wanderers trying to get home. So we had lots of storys and songs about these soldiers. If you interested the song on the beggining is called : Kossuth Lajos azt üzente. It's about one of the leader of one of the wars ( Kossuth Lajos ) messaged that he lost all of his soldiers, and if he message again all of us have to go.
NessLover94 That would hurt!
I heard versions where something other than a stone was used for the setup.
In my coutry version he use to nail old brandmas for money
I've heard a versions where it's the old lady coming into town and making stone soup for the food ridden town.
This channel reminds me of my childhood, even though im only 23 years old.
I love the feeling i get when hearing the music and listening to the tale, thanks!
A wonderful story, I showed this to some of my friends and we made some soup with a stone and it was really good, thank you to the Hungarian soldier for this recipe!
You realize the stone adds nothing to the soup, right? That's basically the joke of the story.
On the contrary, it wouldn't be "Stone Soup" without the stone, now would it?
Thank you for the tales. My wife and I love them. Some we know others are a new adventure. Thanks again for posting.
Guess whats for supper tonight? Stone soup
i always thought stone soup sounds delicious.
i dont know i imagine a salty taste what it gives for the soup
@@ZsH85 same
I'm British, but I remember reading this, as a child, nearly 60 years ago. It obviously made a considerable impression, as I have often re-told it over the years.
I really love this story.
Same
We read this story and made stone soup in third grade, but I had no idea it was a Hungarian folk tale. Never thought I would stumble across this video 14 years later.
There's another version of that story where i come from. In a village full of greedy people the soldier cooked his soup in the middle of the town instead of going house to house. Same things happen one person gets what ingredient he/she has and puts it in the pot until it's complete. The soldier shared it with the villagers for sharing what they had and they then learned how to share. I prefer our version because i don't like the idea of fooling old women into letting him in their house and getting money for just a piece of rock.
I grew up with thr same version! Such a better story, and each family had only to contribute a single ingredient so it wasn't any trouble for them at all!
Here in brazil, i heard some very similar tales about a stone soup, though most of them were with a little boy, usually very poor, instead of a soldier.
this brought back some memories of tales i used to hear as a kid, thank you!
I think this soldier passed in Portugal too... we have same story, funny :). Stone soup from a beggar challenged by the population on a Village (a little bit of this and that make a soup). Anyways the message is universal and that's what matters. Cheers
I am hungarian an I stumbled across this. To every people from other countries thank you for watching this it means a lot to me.
Thank you for making these, it's been very interesting to learn new stories and the Hungarian version of old favorites such as this one.
I'd heard it as "Button Soup," and the version in which the whole village contributes. I wanna say it was a Disney storybook. For some reason I always remembered it as "stone" soup though.
I like the witty soldier.. This story also inspire us not to loose hope in troubles and use the most important thing God has gifted to the humans to cope with them..😇
After he said “Hello, OLD lady,” I expected the lady to kick him out, put on some concealer, and come back.
I've heard a few different version of this story over the years and always wondered what its origins were. Thank you for this. :)
They told this story when I was in Elementary school… As a kid, I didn’t know it was a Hungarian Story, They even made the soup in school, minus the Stone…
4:45 I see the old woman had a certain kind of film career in her youth.
Ah...I remembered this tale. It was one of my favourite when I was a kid as I think it was very clever. But the version was that the whole village knew about the soup and they each brought a little of everything.
That's a really nice variation of the story I got told, the one I heard, it was the poorest person in a village suffering from starvation, who starting making the soup in the square. And each person, thinking he was a fool gave a bit of something to add to the pot out of pity.
I didn't know this story came from Hungary! This was one of my favorite stories growing up.
There are versions of this story everywhere. Sometimes it's Stone Soup. Sometimes it's Nail Soup. Sometimes it's Ax Soup. They even used this story as part of Jim Henson's The Storyteller.
We have a similar folk tale in the Philippines. But instead of one woman giving all the ingredients, the whole neighborhood shared what ingredients they only have.
I've heard this story before while growing up, only instead of tricking one lady into giving him ingredients, he tricked everyone in town into sharing something for the soup & the whole town got to feast without the families causing themselves financial downfall. The moral was that even in hard times, if everyone comes together then none will be without the basic necessities.
A heartwarming story of a young man taking advantage of old woman to steal their food
There is a very similar tale in Portugal, but it is a friar instead of a soldier. Actually stone soup is a typical regional meal.
i am hungarian too and i am happy to see English version of my
favourite
childhood cartoon
HELP, I'M ADDICTED
*THE NOSTALGIA*
Ur pfp is disgusting
Interesting. I am American and grew up hearing this story, but instead of a man swindling people out of a meal and money, it was a moral lesson on helping out and chipping in. The whole town come together to create a big vat of stone soup and in the end, each person's individual contribution made a wonderful meal for everyone to enjoy together.
At least a soldier made a good reason to trick the old woman because everyone refused to help him 🍲🥄
I loved watching these when i was young, I would just lay in ebd watching these. I loved old hungary.
Of this reminds me of my childhood. At my nagyi's (grandma's) home she told me the story before I went to bed.
Kitten Gamer in hungary no nagyi's! it called (Nagy-mama) or nagyi or Nagy-anya

I loved watching these as a kid
I'm born and raised from California and when I was in first grade we performed this story as a play in my classroom. I'm of Hungarian descent and never knew this story was originally a Hungarian folk tale. It made me very happy to see this story once again and to find out that it comes from where my family originally came from.
I remember when I was a child in school(from Ireland) stone soup was one of the stories in our English book. I'd no idea it was a Hungarian folk tale haha
This isn't just an hungarian folk tale. It's famous all over Europe. At the very least it's also very famous over here in the Iberian Peninsula.
Well guyz...you gotta admit...that soldier really ROCKED the old crone!!! :DDDDDDD
When I was a child I learned a version of this story from Mexico where instead of stone, he uses a cactus spine, and he tricks a whole town that refuses to give him anything. “We’re all so poor.” they say, but everyone was willing to give him “Whatever ‘little bits’ of what he needed that they had left.”
I love soothing music of this beautiful Hungarian tale and stories are quite addictive 😍
So I found a video from Life of Boris where he tells another version of this story where it’s an axe instead of a stone. I thought it’s something he made up, so I searched for it and it is indeed real. Glad to see this.
Such a classic story!!!!! And yet I had no idea my ancestrial country of Hungary had it's own version of the story!!!!!! I really do love the content on this channel!!!!!
It’s funny I remember something similar from kindergarten, we were told to bring a rock to make rock soup, because of a story we heard. I remember thinking it was amazing soup, but couldn’t find the rock. When I saw the title for this, it brought back that memory even though I couldn’t recall the tale. 😊 thank you
I remember this story from my childhood. It's still great.
Edit: this version is a little different, the entire village contributed in his soup. In this one the old lady had all the food and ingredients.
I am hungarian and happy somebody translates it keep up the good work
Oh and my family tryed it its nice (without a rock)
Stone Soup! One of my favorite stories. And I like how the soldier is animated
Oh god I’m back here again, I must resist the pull of these folk tales
Also this mad lad managed to sell literal stones
Aqui no Brasil nós temos uma versão dessa história com um personagem chamado em alguns lugares de Pedro Malasartes e de Bertolo em outros. É conhecida como a sopa de pedra, mas tem outras histórias ainda mais engraçadas.
Interesting. Could you tell me the story?
I think this classic tale was common in the whole area of former Austria-Hungarian Empire. In school, I've learned German and we read this as classic German tale (there was old beggar instead of soldier I think). Here in Slovakia we know this tale also - in this version the soup is cooked from the axe head.
In the country I live, there is an actual traditional soup, called stone soup, the story beind it is very similar to this tale, and they also teach it to little kids in kindergarden
В России есть сказка, где солдат варит кашу из топора. Считалось, что солдату всегда полагается угощение. Но скупая хозяйка хотела не давала ничего и жаловалась на бедность. Оказалась чудесная каша с мясом.
