Stone Soup

The wise Sophia enters a starving Village & declares she will feed everyone with her magical stone soup

But first Makomo must follow the Star and persuade Mr & Mrs North to give up their monopoly of the giant cooking pot. He succeeds and when the pot begins to boil & bubble, the hungry Villagers gather round to listen to the strange woman

As if by magic, the soup acquires a delicious taste & smell and the mood lightens as everyone anticipates the promised feast. But when Sophia speaks of peace & justice, the fearsome General Mayhem orders Major Hazard to kill her and place the soup under military control. Nevertheless, the spirit of sharing finally prevails & the Play welcomes a new era with song & dance
