The Third Ingredient
"The Third Ingredient" is a short story by William Sidney Porter, O. Henry, notable for its ironic take on the "Stone Soup" theme. The story was originally published in the December 1908 issue of ''Everybody's Magazine'' with illustrations by Frederic Dorr Steele. The next year it was included in O. Henry's collection ''Options''. Background As reported by O. Henry's good friend and biographer C. Alphonso Smith, ''The Third Ingredient'' was inspired by a real experience: ... in one of his first months in New York he was living in very humble lodgings and one evening found him without funds. He became so hungry that he could not finish the story on which he was working, and he walked up and down the landing between the rooms. The odor of cooking in one of the rooms increased his pangs, and he was beside himself when the door opened and a young girl said to him, "Have you had your supper? I've made hazlett stew and it's too much for me. It won't keep, so come and help me eat it." ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
