nail soup
a traveler in the forest stops at a lonely cottage hoping to beg a bed for the night . the scowling woman who answers the door agrees to let him sleep on the floor but declares she hasnt a bit of food in the house . in that case says the traveler ill have to share what ive got with you . and with that he takes a rusty old nail from his pocket and starts to make nail soup it just needs a little something ... this wonderfully illustrated retelling is a witty reminder that more bees are caught with honey than vinegar .
