The Rise and Fall of the Bean

Bean Tree

And HE said, “I know it’s BEAN TREE, but what is it now?!?”
You
Huh?
Bean Tree
And I said, “STILL a bean tree, old thing!… Or should I say, OLD BEAN! Like me, the bean tree, you understand?!” A ha ha ha ha ha.
You
Sorry, what?
Bean Tree
Wait, weren’t you the glitch I was just talking to?
You
No.
Bean Tree
Well where did that ungrateful little… never mind. The point was, this world hasn’t been in place for long, and even though the giants have existed far longer than the world they’ve created, they still haven’t got a handle on how the whole thing works.
You
Wait, what?
Bean Tree
See: while they all know a lot about their individual specialisms, when everything is created all at once, the way is was - and it was, don’t let anyone tell you anything different - they have no idea what anything is.
You
Eh?
Bean Tree
Basically, twiglet: If it’s not an animal, Humbaba won’t acknowledge it, and if it isn’t a rock, Zille couldn’t pick it out of a line-up.
You
Weird.
Bean Tree
They may be mighty, see, but they know very little. Very little indeed. You, in fact, could probably teach them something.
You
Interesting…

The Rise and Fall of the Bean

Bean Tree

Stay a while, let me tell you something about my roots.
You
Go ahead.
Bean Tree
Ha ha ha ha. Roots.
You
Yes.
Bean Tree
No, do you get it? Roots. It’s a very funny joke. Because I’m a tree.
You
Ha ha ha. Yes. Now, roots?
Bean Tree
When this world was very young - and it wasn’t that long ago, barely moments before you popped into existence yourself…
You
Really?!
Bean Tree
Yes, when the world was young, everything came from a bean. The animals, the mountains, the building blocks and the weather, everything started as a bean. But I am the only one who has remained truly beany.
You
Well done?
Bean Tree
Planks. A ha ha ha. Point is, sometimes, those special beans might appear. The Cloud Beans, the Bureaucratic Hall Beans, the Cavern Beans, there are still some out there, somewhere. And if you find one? Well, come back if you do.
You
I will.
