Información sobre este tipo cuentístico: Description: A soldier (traveler, monk) asks an old woman for food and lodging for the night. She agrees to the lodging but will not give him any food. The soldier offers to show her how to make soup from a stone (nail, ax, horseshoe) (sometimes without the introductory situation). She agrees. While the stone "cooks", she brings him all that he asks for, one after another: flour, grease, meat (bacon), vegetables, etc. After they eat the soup, the soldier says he is too full to eat the stone (he sells the wonderful stone to the woman) [K112.2].

Remarks:Documented in the 14th-15th century (sercambi, No.1).
