##@#%%†~:¨ FEW YEARS APPRENTICESHIP, WITH AN IDEA. ¨:~†%%#@##
##%%%†~~:¨ IT WAS ILLEGAL TO SELL FOOD IN THE ¨:~~†%%%##

##@#%%†~:¨ ¨:~†%%#@##
##%%%~~~:¨ 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 ¨:~†%%#@@@

##@#%%†~:¨ 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 ¨¨¨¨¨~†%##

##%~¨¨¨¨¨¨ SINCE NOBODY BOUGHT HIS FOOD ANYWAY ¨¨¨¨¨¨~%##
###@#%%†:¨ (AND ALSO THEY HAD EXPANDED TOO ¨:†%%#@###
##@#%%†~:¨ QUICKLY, SUCCUMBED TO CORRUPTION, AND ¨:~†%%#@##
###@#%%~:¨ WAS IN THE PROCESS OF FALLING APART). ¨:~%%#@###
##%%%~~::¨ ¨::~~%%%##
