DM Margo and The Beanstalk
One fine day when the weather was just about as fine as it could possibly be in the Gru residence. Gru was worried that his house was getting to full up of old useless junk. So he decided to sell of some of the old junk by having each of the girls each take a jumble of old things each in a cart and offering to all the neighbours to see if any of them could find use for it.
Gru was also hoping for the girls to earn some money for anything they sold to help pay for bills and debts and anything else that cost a lot of money.
As Margo walked slowly along pulling her heavy little cart, she saw Fred McDade the next door neighbour also walking along the street where they lived. Fred didn't know exactly who Margo was, but he thought she looked pretty familiar having been seen with Gru, his next door neighbour quite often.
Fred stared at the junk and scrap in Margo's wheelie cart. ''A fine piece of scrap you here, young lady'' he said ''I'll give you these beans for it all. I reckon I could make something really useful''.
''Beans? Beans!'' Margo asked in disbelief for as she knew she was supposed to be getting money for selling the goods, not beans! ''But these are no ordinary beans, young lady'' Fred said ''they're magic beans! Something very mysterious will happen with these little beans depending on what you chose to do with them''.
''What, really?'' Margo asked in surprise. ''Yes, really!'' Fred sounded so very serious that Margo couldn't argue with him anymore. He took the beans and ran quickly home. She was just in time to meet Edith and Agnes who had also just arrived back from their walks around the neighbourhood trying to sell any of the old useless junk.
''Hey Margo!'' Agnes called cheerfully ''How much money did you get? Edith and I got quite a few dollars each!''.
