(Not much today, not much free time)

He waited and listened,

anticipation granting him patience

while hearing boastful recounts

of the beanstalk trade.

The nuggets of gold once envied

were cast aside, banned as currency

due to superstition.

Stories of how the beanstalk

first formed were whispered,

praying no such occurance

would ever happen again.

‘I saw it! Beans fell from the sky

and the next morning it was there,

fully grown. Magic beans.’
