This week's story:  Lok and Siew journey along a mountain road trying to understand what makes one happy. At once the monks encounter frightened villagers that have long been ravaged by harsh times, and whose hearts have grown hard toward everyone they meet. But when the monks cleverly entice them to make soups from stones, the villagers discover how much they each have to give - and how much more comes back in return. With magnificent watercolors that invite reflection of deeper meaning, Jon J. Muth combines his love of Zen Buddhism and Eastern culture with a favorite old trickster tale that celebrates the power of generosity. Target Skill: Main Idea and Details
