2007-10-08 [Morningstar Rising]: *looks around innocently* lNope never heard it.

2007-10-08 [Artsieladie]: It's basically about taking what everyone thinks is nothing or that they don't have anything. However, each realize they can find something to contribute to the pot & then they have this delicious soup as an end result! :D

2007-10-08 [Morningstar Rising]: okay, so someone brought stones for the soup. hehehehe

2007-10-08 [Dark Side of the Moon]: http://www.storybin.com/sponsor/sponsor116.shtml Here's the story! It's not very long. :)

2007-10-09 [Morningstar Rising]: okay thanks will take a look.

2007-10-09 [Morningstar Rising]: went and checked it out, nice story.

2007-10-09 [Artsieladie]: Thanks, [Dark Side of the Moon]! :D The way I learned it, it didn't have 3 soldiers as characters, but the plot is the same. :) Hmm...this is the idea I need to implement on Elf12! :P

2007-10-10 [Morningstar Rising]: yep it sure is.

2007-10-11 [Grandamelf]: I wonder if our tradition of "Pot Luck" dinners has evolved from that story. It has been around since before I was born! LOL! My grandmother read it to me.

2007-10-12 [Morningstar Rising]: Would be interesting to find out.

2007-10-13 [Artsieladie]: Good & interesting point, Sis. *wonders, too* :D

2007-10-13 [Grandamelf]: I thought since the version of the story a got as I child was that.. it was a poor man who started the soup for his guests and said: Oh, It would be so much better if it had a patato, an so a guest came up with a potato.. and so on, until the stone was the least of the ingredients, and everyone had contributed to the soup! (a clever host!)

2007-10-13 [Grandamelf]: Unfortunatly, I am a very bad typist! Tee Hee!

2007-10-13 [Artsieladie]: Yes. If everyone contributed a little, there would be a whole lot for all. :)

2007-10-13 [Grandamelf]: Speaking of "Teddy Bears" (which we were not,Lol!)
In the days of Radio, there was a show for kids, called the "Buster Brown Show" (showing my age, Hehe) anyway, it had a delightful little song called the "Teddy Bear's Picnic" I sure wish I could remember all the words to it! Does anyone know the Song?

2007-10-14 [Artsieladie]: I'm afraid I don't know the song. :'P

2007-10-15 [Grandamelf]: I only remember part of it! " If you go out in the woods today, you better go in disquse..If you go out in the woods today you're in for a big surprise!.......da da da! then it ends with "Today is the day the Teddy Bears, have their picnic" I just hate it when I can't remember something! The Tune is haunting me!

2007-10-15 [Dark Side of the Moon]: 'Zis it here? http://www.vcei.org/tbp-words.htm

2007-10-16 [Grandamelf]: Yipee! That is the song! Thank you Ir-Iddyn!
