A long time ago, in a village not too far from a stream, a kind-hearted soldier was trudging down a dusty lane. His movements were slow as he had been walking the whole day. He would have loved nothing more than to eat a nice, hot meal. As he came across a quaint little house on the side of the road, he thought to himself, The person who lives here must have some extra food to share with a hungry traveller like me; I think I’ll go and ask.’ And so the soldier walked up the cobbled path towards the wooden door, past the garden full of growing cabbages, potatoes, onions and carrots. Once he reached the front of the house, he raised his hand to knock when the door suddenly opened. On the other side stood an old man. His hands were on his hips and he had a frown on his face. ‘What do you want?’ said the old man, rudely. Still the soldier smiled at him. ‘Hello there, I am a soldier from a village not too far from here. I have come to you to ask if you have any food you would be able to spare.’
