Fairytales #2

by

We went to the park every day regardless of the weather. Always saw the same old man walking his dog. He always had something for Jack. A story. A wink. Then, as time went on, little presents. He'd passed Jack a plain brown envelope.

To Jack he said "Open it when you get home." And to me "Help him see the magic."

Too excited, we only waited until we got round the corner. I can't lie. I was hoping for some money or maybe tickets to Alton Towers. But inside were large smooth oval seeds. Mottled black, brown and burgundy.
