Luyện nghe bài hát The Wonderful Soup Stone

(Shel Silverstein)

I swear you taste the chicken and tomatoes
And the noodles and the
But it really nothing but some water and potatoes
And the wonderful, wonderful

Hanging from a string in my mama's kitchen, back in the hard days
Was a little ol' stone 'bout the size of an apple, it was smooth and and grey
There wasn't much food in my mama's kitchen, so whenever things got
Mama boiled up some water, put in the and said "Let's have some soup tonight"

And I you could taste the chicken and tomatoes
And the noodles and the
But it really nothing but some water and potatoes
And the wonderful, wonderful

It had been in the family for a whole lotta years, so we knew it was a nourishing
And I remember mama, as she stirred it in the water, and we could all hear her
"Its a stone and as long as we got it, we'll never have a hungry night
Just add a little to the wonderful soupstone and everything will be alright"

And I swear you could taste the chicken and
And the and the marrowbone
But it really wasn't but some water and potatoes
And the wonderful, soupstone

So it carried us all through the days, 'til finally the sunshine came
And the soupstone started into gathering dust, but it hung there the same
And since then the food's been plenty, but every now and then I find
That mama in the kitchen the wonderful soupstone, drifts across my mind

And again I can taste the and tomatoes
And the noodles and the
But it really wasn't nothing but water and potatoes
And the wonderful, wonderful

And again I can the chicken and tomatoes
And the noodles and the
But it wasn't nothing but some water and potatoes
And the wonderful, soupstone
