Jessie agrees and after a brief conversation with Benny about a new "building" project, Henry leaves for work. When he arrives at Dr. Moore's home, he is quickly put to work thinning vegetables in the garden. Mrs. Moore, the doctor's mother, gives him a dollar at noon, compliments him on hiss job, and asks him to return after lunch. Henry is able to take the little vegetables he thinned home with him and on the way purchases some meat.
While he was at work Jessie and Benny worked on a new fireplace!! When he gives Jessie the meat and vegetables she immediately starts a stew for supper. After lunch, Henry goes back to the doctor's house and is told to organize the garage. He does a wonderful job and Dr. Moore gives him one of four hammers Henry found along with a bunch of old nails. Henry Collects another dollar and heads home, heads high and heart glad. He excitedly shows the children his new hammer and they all sit down to enjoy a wonderful meal.

After Watching the video of the story Stone Soup the kids and I decided to make Beef Stew. We used many of the same ingredients the Box Car Children made in their soup. Lily and Aj worked hard chopping, measuring and sauteing. The Stew came out delicious.
