Jill and the Beanstalk

Jill and the Beanstalk is a legendary fairy tale that has captured the hearts and minds of children everywhere. It is set in the days of the High Penguin Confederacy in what is now Eastshield.

The event
The Carter family was the poorest in the village. Mother Carter and her daughter Jill lived in an old shack, which they shared with their giant puffle, Gary. Mother Carter's only job was making quilts out of Gary's shed fur. It was not a high paying buisness, and now Gary was old and grey, and seldom produced enough fur to make even a scarf. Mother Carter treated Jill harshly, calling her useless when Jill actually helped collect the fur. It was a tough life.

One day, Mother Carter and Jill were eating dinner, a measly meal of mouldy pizza. Suddenly, Mother stood up.

"I'm sick and tired of being poor! I'm sick and tired of being hungry! I've had enough!"

She pointed a flipper at Jill, who shrunk back into her chair.

"Jill, listen here, you useless child. Tomorrow you shall go to market and sell Gary for a high price. Don't you dare come back with nothing, or you will be punished beyond your wildest dreams!"

And so she did.
