Oh, Mark was such a foolish and sluggish young man.
His mother sent him away with everything she can.
Go sell our last sheep and fetch me some money.
So we can buy clothes and food, must rush, honey!
Mark strolled aimlessly, wasting precious time.
A strange man soon joined the boy in his prime.
If you wish to be wealthy, I'll show you how to leap.
For such mystic seeds, you must give me your sheep.
Mark took some beans and went back to his mother.
"Son, you're so strange, quite unlike any other.
with no wealth, no money, and no food to eat.
Winter will come, and we won't even have heat.
She threw all the seeds through the air to the ground.
and placed Mark to bed without emitting a sound.
And as they were both sleepings, a stem quickly grew.
Its branches managed to reach high into the sky blue.
Mark leaped from his bed and dared not stop.
Until he reached the pinnacle of the hilltop,
They joined a palace in search of treasure.
Even so, he soon became aware of the awful ledger.
Mark peered out and saw the obelisk yell at his hen.
Lay my golden eggs, or I'll send you back to your pen!
when gold eggs ultimately covered the floor.
Oh, Mother, assist me! Mark yelled from his core.
