Soup

A soup is a kind of food. People make soups by boiling things in water. Then they put the things they boiled into a bowl and eat them. Vegetables and noodles are in most soups. You can also put meat in soups.
 
Once upon a time some travelers come to a village, carrying nothing more than an empty pot. Upon their arrival, the villagers are unwilling to share any of their food stores with the hungry travelers. The travelers fill the pot with water, drop a large stone in it, and place it over a fire in the village square. One of the villagers becomes curious and asks what they are doing. The travelers answer that they are making "stone soup", which tastes wonderful, although it still needs a little bit of garnish to improve the flavor, which they are missing. The villager doesn't mind parting with just a little bit of flour to help them out, so it gets added to the soup. Another villager walks by, inquiring about the pot, and the travelers again mention their stone soup which hasn't reached its full potential yet. The villager hands them a little bit of seasoning to help them out. More and more villagers walk by, each adding another ingredient. Finally, a delicious and nourishing pot of soup is enjoyed by all.
 
Well,for rocks covered in lichen or mud, the lichen or mud count as a separate ingredient. The rock itself, adds no flavor. A boiling hot rock is, however , handy for throwing at stray dogs and small children.

You just went through some corporate class on management tactics, didn't you.

Now you understand. Those stray dogs and small children can really flavor up a good broth.

Actually that's an old story.

When I worked for Toyota I was given a copy of "Who Moved My Cheese," which I read. I was okay with it at first. Then I looked at the price on the back cover and became furious. I wish I could sell my random nonsense for $18 a copy.
