THE MAGIC BEANS.
A very, very good morning to the honourable
judges, accurate time keepers, my lovely teachers and
my fellow friends. I am here with my interesting story
entitled ‘The Magic Beans’.
A poor, kind stranger was travelling all over the
country. One day, he arrived at a village. He was hoping
for a place to stay for the night and also some food.”I
am in a terrible hunger”.
However, when he entered the village, the villagers
hurriedly went to their houses. They locked their doors
and windows. The stranger felt puzzled at the
behaviour of the villagers. Then, he went to a house of
a villager.
The stranger knocked on the door. A villager
opened the door.

“Greetings friend! I am looking for a place to stay
and something to eat before continuing on my travels,’’
said the stranger.
“I am afraid we have no food here. My family and I
are starving. It is better for you to go elsewhere,” said
the villager.
“That is all right, I have all that I need. I was
actually thinking of making bean soup and to share it
with everyone,” said the stranger.
The stranger went to the middle of the village. He
then took out an iron pot from his bag and filled it with
water. Next, he built a fire around the pot. As the
water was boiling, he took out a bean from his silk
pouch and put the stone into the pot.
The villagers opened their windows and curiously
watched the stranger. He stirred the “broth”. After

awhile he sniffed it and licked his lips. The villagers
slowly came out of their homes.
“Mmmmm,” the stranger said loudly. “This bean
soup is delicious. Of course, it would be better if I had
some cabbage to add to the soup.”
At first no one came, however after awhile a
villager soon approached the stranger. He was carrying
a small cabbage.
“I found this cabbage in my kitchen. You can use it
for the soup,” said the villager.
“Fantastic!” said the stranger as he accepted the
cabbage.
“If only there was a bit of salt beef, the soup
would be even more delicious,” said the stranger.

This time, the village butcher approached the
stranger. He said he had found some salt beef in his
shop and passed it to the stranger. The stranger
thanked the butcher.
Little by little the other villagers too approached
the stranger. They gave him potatoes, onions, carrots
and mushrooms.
Soon, a delicious soup was prepared. The stranger
shared the soup with everyone in the village. All the
villagers enjoyed the soup.
Later, the village elder offered to buy the magic
beans from the stranger for a lot of money. The
stranger however refused to sell it. The next day, he
was walking through some woods near the village. A
group of children were playing there.”Hey children,
come here”.

The stranger gave the pouch to the youngest child.
He told him the beans were not magical but the
villagers who had performed the magic.
