The Hungry Stones, and Other Stories #593002

The Hungry Stones is a story about a group of individuals who find themselves in the middle of a barren wasteland, where they pine for anything to quench their hunger. They come across stones that appear to be edible and start eating them, which turns out to be disastrous. Tagore uses this story to illustrate how we can end up starving ourselves with desires that are impossible to fulfill.
