Simon And The Magic Beans
Simon skipped home with a proud smile. He'd traded his family's last gold piece for three magic beans. He was so looking forward to seeing his mother's face.
His mother's rage was unlike anything Simon had ever seen. She tossed the beans out the window and nearly skinned him alive. She lamented how Simon had brought the family to ruin.
The ruin extended beyond just the family. After the first heavy rain, the beans came alive and began eating all the villagers. Simon insisted the old witch had promised they were vegan beans, but no one had time to listen.
