 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 
          KIRUGU VARGIR ENTIERLY.         
                                          
               WHICH HE DID.              
                                          
                                     
                                          
 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 
 A  MAN  NAMED  MICKEY  MAC DONALDS,  WHO 
   RENAMED THE BUSINESS AFTER HIMSELF.    
 WHILE NICHOLAS QUICKLY PERISHED, MICKEY  
   FUNNELED HIS INHERITED BILLIONS INTO   
 THE  PROJECT,  AND  QUICKLY EXPANDED ALL 
             OVER THE PLANET.             
                                          
                                       
                                          
         AND THE REST IS HISTORY!
