Hi everyone! In this lesson, you'll practice your listening skills with one classic story told in two surprising ways.

Listen carefully and tell us which version you prefer. Let's begin.

Stone Soup 2.0. Bring what you got. A digital nomad arrived in a fading town. The cafe was closed. The park was empty. At noon, he posted a flyer on the community board. Oceanside Community Soup at 6 p.m. Bring what you got. Read more at st.n. At first, no replies, no shares, no interest,

Thirty days later, atstow.ne posted,

At 6 p.m., the villagers came. One brought carrots, another potatoes.
