.&..&..... &...&..&.&
&&.&&....& 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! &.&.&&.&&&
