Excerpt from The Luck of the Bean-Rows: A Fairy Tale
The old man took him on his knee and danced him gently up and down, in the way the ladies ride in the Park, and said all sorts of droll things to amuse him; and the child responded in his own prattling fashion, for who would like to seem backward in such jolly talk P Meanwhile the old woman lit upthe house with a fire of dry bean pods, which gladdened the little body of the newcomer, and prepared an excellent bean-pap which a spoonful of honey made delicious eating. Then she laid him to sleep in his fine white night clothes in the best bed of bean-chaff in the house; for these poor folk knew nothing of feather-beds and eider-downs, When he was fast asleep, There is one thing that bothers me, said the old man to his Wife, and that is what we are to call this bonny boy, for we know neither his parents nor Where he comes from.
We must call him, said the old woman, for though she was but a simple peasant she was quick witted, The Luck of the Bean rows, for it was in our bean field he came to us, the best of luck, to comfort us in our old age.
