One day, a poor and humble woman was cooking some soup for herself and her husband.As she finished, she wished she had a child of her own.To her great surprise, a chickpea hopped out of the pot and turned into a little boy.
"Who are you?" cried the woman. "Where did you come from?"

The woman dished up a bowl of soup, and the Chickpea Boy carried it carefully to the table.
"Hello, Father!" said the Chickpea Boy. "Here is some soup that Mother has made."
"Who are you?" asked the man. "I am your son," replied the Chickpea Boy.
