@@spacetrebuchet6853 yeah! In Latin America they tell us the stone soup story, and at the end, many people from the town collaborate with ingredients to make the soup better
The main difference in this story I heard as a child was that a traveling man started a cooking fire in the middle of the village to make stone soup and each of the villagers added something to the pot to make it better.

This story is very close to me. As a child growing up in Kolkata, India, we were raised on Russian folktales along with our own. In Bengali, this story was called "Kuruler Jau" and it was one of my favorite stories because it showed how a clever soldier tricked people into giving him what he wanted for a meal. Thank you Boris for making me relive my childhood.
Hey this is pretty similar to The Knife soup story from Mexico. Except that one ends in like a huge party where everyone from the village ends up contributing something to the soup, like a newly married couple brings onions, a foreign merchant breaks out his spices, and a hunter brings in a pair of rabbits.
Is that the story where the guy tells everyone he will make a soup from a stone because no one wants to give him any food so he manages to trick them to give him ingredients and creates like a tasty stone soup?
This story will be passed onto my child and they will pass it onto their child, i told my dad this story and he started crying with tears of joy. Thank you boris. Thank you.
Ah yes, nothing screams more Slavs than a soup created with a hatchet xD I love how Boris is telling us a fairytale story about Babushka like we're his nephews and nieces, he's a cool uncle that I wish I have
This is still one of my favorite Boris videos because of how relatively wholesome it is, just a Slav dude sharing a story from his childhood and culture with the world.
Ahh Stone Soup is the classic tale that teaches you the lesson that something great can be made from lots of little things that don't seem very good on their own, or the lesson that if everybody contributes something small towards a project, the result is better than the sum of it's parts.
In Swedish folk lore we also have a similar one where they make soup on a nail (spike, not human nail). There's probably a similar variant in most cultures.
As soon as the soldier said "Not yet, we need salt", I knew exactly what was going on. We have a similar story here in the Appalachians, except it's a whole village, and the hatchet is a rock instead
I remember my grandmother telling me the Scottish version of this. There was also the version where it was a tramp (homeless man) who used a stone, and it was to make beer. Ethnic stereotypes are fun.

I love the babushka voice he does!! :) Thank you, Boris, for sharing your storytelling skills!
In the Brazilian version of this fable, instead of the ax, the protagonist, called Pedro Malasartes here, uses a stone to deceive a miser and pedantic woman.
The second he mentioned the hatchet i thought of this story too (I'm from Denmark) and was like: wait!? There is a Russian version of this story as well? Makes sense that these kind of old stories travel far tho' ^^ Wonder where it came from originally 🤔
When I was younger, I heard a similar story about this, the 3 soldiers were every hungry, they went to a village but everyone said they didn’t have any food. The three soldiers then told everyone that they were making Stone soup and they asked if they had any ingredients for the soup. Almost everyone did, the soldiers and the villagers ate Stone soup and the soldiers then left.
I remember this story from "stories from Hungarian folklore". You can find it on TH-cam. I mostly watched the shit on my old ass tv when i was younger.

Boris is like russian Gordon Ramsay.
His dishes are always original and he always have his own way to cook
boris reminds me of the cool uncle who teaches you cool things without your parents knowing
So I too have heard this in a version called “Stone Soup” about a village contributing bits & bobs to the soup, and they all share the results…
But can we all pause a moment to appreciate how great of a voice actor Boris is? I love the babushka voice he does!! :)
Thank you, Boris, for sharing your storytelling skills!
In the Brazilian version of this fable, instead of the ax, the protagonist, called Pedro Malasartes here, uses a stone to deceive a miser and pedantic woman.
In sweden, this story is called ”koka soppa på en spik” Which means to make soup from a nail
Cook soup from a spike?
The second he mentioned the hatchet i thought of this story too (I'm from Denmark) and was like: wait!? There is a Russian version of this story as well?
Makes sense that these kind of old stories travel far tho' ^^
Wonder where it came from originally 🤔
Old fairy tale i knew as "Stone Soup". There was a video in 80s called "The Storyteller" that covered it
When I was younger, I heard a similar story about this, the 3 soldiers were every hungry, they went to a village but everyone said they didn’t have any food. The three soldiers then told everyone that they were making Stone soup and they asked if they had any ingredients for the soup. Almost everyone did, the soldiers and the villagers ate Stone soup and the soldiers then left.
How to make hatchet soup:
Step 1: Lie to old lady.
I remember this story from "stories from Hungarian folklore". You can find it on TH-cam. I mostly watched the shit on my old ass tv when i was younger.
I can hear that music
