Ep 13. Stone Soup

Laura and Albert travel to Sleepy Eye to buy some schoolbooks, and run into their old friend Luke. Luke has become an orphan and is now homeless. Laura and Albert decide to take him back to Walnut Grove. When Charles and Caroline see what a good friend Luke is to the children, they decide to keep him around and take care of him. When the Ingalls family invites him to the Sunday family dinner, Luke brings along his "stone soup" recipe. Caroline tries to add a few of her own ingredients to the mix, but the boys insist on only using what they have on hand in their stone pot. As the soup boils over the fire, the family begins to realize that Luke's recipe is more than just a way to fill their bellies but it's a way to bring the family together. With no fancy ingredients or extra seasonings, the family discovers the most important ingredient for a good meal is the company you share it with.
