How it all began

We were very poor when I was growing up. It was difficult finding enough to get by. One day, I was going to the market to sell our only cow. On the way there I met a man who said he would give me some magic beans for it. So I gave him the cow, and went back home with the magic beans.
When I got back to the house my mother asked me how much I got for the cow, and I said I didn’t get any money, instead I have these magic beans. My mother was mad at me and said how can we buy food without any money? And I said, well, we can eat the beans. So we had the magic beans on some toast, and then I did a magic fart.
