When Sally Sue Was Seven

when Sally Sue was seven, she was given a magic bean. It wouldn't make her strong or fast or wise.. she didn't know what it would mean. It was given to her by the sweetest lady, her neighbor Julia Joe. Who had more friends and loved ones than Sally would ever know. And Sally was kind and would help Miss Joe every chance she'd get. Sally was shy and didn't have many friends, but loved Miss Joe from the day they met. Then one day Miss Joe came to Sally with a small, heart shaped box. She said “in this box you'll find a key that can open any and all locks. It may seem silly and small my dear, it may look like just a bean, but it'll take you wherever you wish to go, you'll see things you've never seen. You'll be friendly and smart and beautiful and sweet, you'll have more friends than you can count. All you have to do it put your faith in the bean and with the bean you must never doubt.” Sally took the bean with pleasure and became all that she was promised. She grew up to be just like Miss Joe, just as beautiful, sweet, and honest. Sally took that bean everywhere she went and became the most popular girl in town. It gave her the confidence to do all that she wanted, you couldn't help but smile when she was around. miss Joe was very proud of her and still saw her all the time Sally still came over to help clean. And one morning in particular, sally stopped her work, and asked the truth about the magic bean. “I used to think I was invisible. But in an instant, I became seen. How could something so small hold so much power?” “what power darling? It was just a bean.”
