Folktales Flexible casts Simple sets, props and costumes Stones is a collection of three funny folktales about stones - a stone that makes blissful soup, stones that masquerade first as coins and then as jewels, and an innocent stone that is falsely accused of stealing. Stone Soup tells the story of a tramp who convinces a family of bickering sisters to help make a pot of soup that sweetens their natures and changes their lives.Robbers Are Everywhere is about a poor man who turns the tables on a greedy rich woman, using her own greed to trick her out of his three precious coins she has tricked from him.In The Trial of the Stone a judge accuses a stone of stealing a penny, the trial lures in the real thieves who are caught when they steal again, as the clever judge knew they would, and the stone's good name is happily restored. - from Amzon
