THE PARABLE OF COOKED STONES

Shortly after the Second World War in 1945, another war broke out. This was the war of famine; there was no food as a result of the war. A man got up one day without food for the children to eat.

He collected stones washed and put them in the pot, covered the stones with a wrapping paper before putting the lid. He told the kids that he has cooked sweet potatoes.

He instructs the kids to add fire wood to the fire and water to the pot. He told them that he will come back and arrange it for them to eat. He went to a nearby village to look for food and came back late in the afternoon before preparing the food he brought for the family to eat.
