HA! Great last line. SHE’S A WITCH! in essence. Top banana.

She’s an HERBALIST get it right! lol just kidding.
Maybe you envisioned her more like Professor Sprout?
I was thinking this was a pun on her character; an accusation. So if she’s being witchy, it wouldn’t work. Which begs the question, will it work??

Ooh, chilling. She gets her come-uppances :)

My theory was that it takes more than an herbalist to make a bean that can access the realm of giants. They are, after all, “magic beans”, thus their creation had to have been at least somewhat magical; therefore, she’s a witch.

Besides, I have it on good authority she weighs less than a duck.

lol, I was wondering about that. I mean it could have been a powder, a special liquid, bought at a price, that she applied at the correct time to make it magical. The beans could have been found, or handed down from her mother. :P I’m just being a pain. I’ll just say she’s a witch on all fronts and cede from the brainstorming session I have wrought upon myself.

she got urgnatha powder pwnd.

Very good story arc.

Oooooh, nice ending. Also well written over all. I like the pause induced with the comma after ‘what’. I can imagine exactly what it sounds like.

haha she wieghs less then a duck, little holy grail ref. Nicely done, punch line in the end rocked it

Love the ending. She was asking for it.

I actually think that I might like to have trolls in my family tree, it would make life a bit more interesting. Love the story, especially the surprise ending.

I love your take on this, and the dialog was spot on.

It all makes sense now. He had no choice. He had to do it… ’ cause everyone knows that witches will cause a family cow to dry up which ends up killing babies. An’ you can’t be a successful dairy farmer if you has a dried up cow, now can you?
