The boring grown-up version The best children's story ever!
excerpt: Quote: After haggling briefly with the hare and making his purchase, the somewhat gullible badger took to the road again, pleased with his own cleverness. And after a while, on this same country road, he came to a small collection of animals out tending their bean fields.
"See here," the somewhat gullible badger proclaimed. "I have bought some magic beans!" He held out his paws, in which glistened slightly less than a dozen round, black objects approximately the size of peas.
The animals looked, but their expression was not one of the expected awe. "Those are not magic beans," said a number of the animals: three rabbits and two voles, to be precise. They seemed quite certain about it -- resolute, even.
"What? What do you mean?" asked the badger.
"Those are not beans at all," said a rabbit, as the others looked on and nodded. "Those are rabbit droppings."
