Everybody wants dinner in the apartment building. However, nobody has enough food for a whole meal. A child suggests they have a Hot Pot Night. Everybody brings what they have and drop into the electric pot. In a short time there is enough dinner for everyone and good company, too.

 Everybody knows the story Stone Soup. Here is a Chinese version of that story. I like folk tales and fairy tales from different cultures. I like to see how they are alike and how they are different. This was a cute story, with nice and bright illustrations. More people should get together like that and make friends. A good story with cute illustrations.
