.#......#. it all began a thousand years ago in .#.######.
.##.....## like the eighteenth century. a dark ####.....#
##.#....#. figure emerged from a tavern after a #...#....#
..###...## few years apprenticeship, with an idea. ##..##...#
#.#..#..#. it was illegal to sell food in the ..#.#.#..#
.###.##.## region for everybody except that tavern. ..######.#
##..##.##. ..#.....##
..#.#.##.# but marigold didn't care. #.##....#.
..#####.## ###.#...##
#.#....##. she began putting dried lizard meat ...###..#.
####...#.# between two bread slices, operating out ...#..#.##
....#..### of a cart, not staying in the same #..##.###.
....##.#.. place long. in the day she slept, in .#.#.##..#
#...#.###. the eve she sold her wares, and in the .#####.#.#
.#..###..# night she poached. ##....####
###.#..#.# #.#...#...
#..###.### after a few years, marigolds food cart .###..##..
##.#..##.. had a reputation. she called it .#..#.#.#.
#.###.#.#. -. the golden m .- ###.######
.##..##### and people talked about the golden m. ...##.....
.#.#.#.... the old tavern had their monopoly and ...#.#....
.######... didn't change their menu much. ...####...
.#.....#.. marigolds secret lizard foodcart was #..#...#..
.##....##. new and fresh. ##.##..##.
.#.#...#.# #.##.#.#.#
#####..### however, she became a little too well .##.######
.....#.#.. known. the taverns men hot on her ##.##.....
.....####. trail, she could stay a shorter and ..##.#....
.....#...# shorter time in each location. she felt #.#.###...
.....##..# hunted. and soon enough there came a .####..#..
.....#.#.# time when they started watching for her ##...#.##.
.....##### at the gates of every village. #.#..###.#
#....#.... .###.#..##
.#...##... so she hid the cart, and disappeared, .#..###.#.
.##..#.#.. forever. ###.#..###
##.#.####. #..###.#..
#.####...# ### † ### ##.#..###.
###...#..# ..###.#..#
...#..##.# after thirty years, a man named ..#..###.#
#..##.#.## nicholas found the cart. he was a ..##.#..##
.#.#.####. cursed entrepreneur (they all are #.#.###.#.
.#####...# (cursed, i mean)) and as such he of #####..###
##....#..# course thought it a good idea to follow #....#.#..
#.#...##.# in marigolds foodsteps. .#...####.
####..#.## .##..#...#
....#.###. he wasn't all that of a cook, and even ##.#.##..#
#...###..# though some recognized the golden m, he #.####.#.#
.#..#..#.# quickly fell into infamity. however he .##...####
###.##.### was kind of a hardhat and didn't stop .#.#..#...
#..##.##.. trying. the tavern didn't care for him #####.##..
##.#.##.#. since nobody bought his food anyway #....##.#.
#.####.### (and also they had expanded too ##...#.###
.##...##.. quickly, succumbed to corruption, and #.#..###..
.#.#..#.#. was in the process of falling apart). .###.#..#.
.####.#### .#..###.##
##...##... angry at everyone for not understanding ###.#..##.
#.#..#.#.. his food, he vowed to leave ...###.#.#

.##.....## we dont know much about how he traveled ####.....#
##.#....#. or where, but eventually he ended up on #...#....#
..###...## earth in the fifties. ##..##...#
#.#..#..#. upon finding out that earth holds no ..#.#.#..#
.###.##.## edible lizards, he settled for cow meat ..######.#
##..##.##. instead, and to his joy, the earth folk ..#.....##
..#.#.##.# liked it! #.##....#.
..#####.## ###.#...##
#.#....##. then he got scammed out of the cart by ...###..#.
