The Meek Mountain Peak

Published: Sept. 17, 2021, 7:05 a.m.

Once, there were five magic beans.

A poor boy was swindled into accepting them as payment for some vegetables he was trying to sell at market. His mother had thought the beans were useless until he ate one and grew into a giant. His mother was poor and could not have supported the needs of a skinny boy much less a giant. So she had no choice but to cast him out. On his wanderings, he befriended a young girl who called herself Turtle. She named him Cob, which was short for “corncob” for he was tall as a cornstalk (and he didn’t fancy being called “Stalk”).

 

They were an odd company.  An enchanted company.  And they had lived through many adventures together.

Genre: Fairy Tale, Fantasy
