三个和尚来到一个饱经苦难的村庄，村民们长年在艰难岁月中煎熬，心肠变得坚硬，不愿接纳任何人。可是，和尚们用煮石头汤的方法，让村民们不知不觉地付出了很多，更明白了付出越多回报越多的道理。琼·穆特运用华丽的水彩画，**读者去深思蕴涵在故事背后的道理。他把自己对禅宗和东方文化的热爱，融入这个古老的巧计故事当中，以此弘扬慷慨好施的力量。
The three monks came to a suffering village. The villagers had been suffering for many years, their hearts becoming hardened and as such, they were unwilling to accept anyone into their town. However, the monks used the method of boiled stone soup to soften the villagers' hearts and to help them understand the truth that the more you give, the more you are rewarded. Jon Muth uses gorgeous watercolors to encourage readers to ponder the truth behind every story. He incorporates his love for Zen and Eastern culture into this ancient story of ingenuity to promote the power of generosity.
