Poison for Breakfast

by Lemony Snicket

“Let me tell you a story. A long time ago, there was a merchant selling pears in a marketplace. A traveling monk asked if he could have one, but the merchant refused. The monk was dressed in tattered clothing, and the other market goers felt very sorry for him and began urging the merchant to give one single pear from his abundance. The merchant refused, so finally someone purchased a single pear and gave it to the monk, who gobbled it up, leaving behind a single seed. As the crowd watched, the monk planted the seed in the ground, and within moments it had grown into a pear tree covered in fruit which the monk distributed to the crowd. The pear merchant watched all this in fascination and frustration, and then suddenly noticed that all of his pears were gone. Suspecting the monk of trickery, the merchant turned to confront him but the monk, too, had disappeared.”
