The stone soup change the villagers by when the monks had try to make stone soup when the smoke came up the villagers came out they shared. In  the story it said that the villaers went through famine floods and war. A brave  little girl came out to see and the monks asked the girl  for a bigger pot. The women brought some carrots and when the village people  brought some  items their hearts opened up.  When the soup was done everyone sang songs, ate and danced.  This is important  because in the beginning the villagers were selfish but the monks changed that problem with stone soup. This  shows that the villagers were selfish   untill the monks came and made stone soup .This reminds me of when my brother shared things just liked the villagers.
