They had never had any children, and this was a great trouble to them, for they foresaw that in a few years more they would not be able to grow their beans and take them to market. One day while they were weeding in their field (that with a little cabin was all they possessed I wish owned as much !) one day, I say, while they were getting rid of the weeds the old woman spied in a corner, where they grew thickest, a small bundle very carefully tied up ;and what should she find in it but a lovely boy, eight or ten months old to look at, but quite two years in intelligence !H ehad been weaned ;at all events he needed no pressing to partake of boiled beans, which he raised to his mouth very prettily.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book follows the extraordinary journey of a young boy, found as a baby in a bean field, who becomes known as the Luck of the Bean-rows. Raised by a kind, elderly couple, he transforms their humble bean field into a prosperous estate, showcasing his innate talent for agriculture and business. His life takes a fantastical turn when he encounters mythical creatures like a wise owl, a cunning wolf, and a charming mountain goat, each seeking his aid and rewarding him with wisdom and insights into the world.
