Once upon a time in a land not so very far away there was a man named Jack. Jack was a man with no beard. The reason he had no beard was not that he didn't like beards; oh no he quite liked the idea of a chin bush, but he was far too lazy to grow one. One day whilst he was contemplating the effort that beard growing required Jack had an idea; he decided he would hire some very small people to grow a beard for him thus eliminating any physical effort. The following day Jack briefed a team of approximately one thousand very small people whose job it was to grow one hair each. The very small people quickly got to work and two days later the hairs were complete. Jack told all the very small people to stand on his chin and so they did. Jack had a beard and felt very pleased with himself.
 
Later that day Jack went to meet his friend Jill for lunch. They went to a delicious doughnut shop and had five doughnuts and a coffee each, followed by a big piece of chocolate fudge cake. Jill was very impressed by Jacks beard, she was a businesswoman by nature and thought his idea was potentially very profitable.
 
2 months later very small people were being employed everywhere; they fed, clothed and washed the big people morning, noon and night. The big people became very lazy and very fat. One day, as two very small people on a flying spoon were feeding jack chocolate flavoured cereal, he heard a BANG! and then a SPLAT! from next door. Jack was a little worried and so he sent a very small person to investigate. When the very small person returned with the news Jack could not believe his ears; his next-door neighbour Mrs Smith had grown so lazy and fat that she had exploded.
 
Soon more big people began to explode. Jack was frightened, he did not like the idea of exploding at all. As he was eating a fudge brownie he had an idea, perhaps if he could walk, like he used to, he would burn off some calories and not explode. Jack tried to get up, but alas, he found his hearty buttocks were wedged in the armchair. Suddenly Jack felt a rumble in his stomach, his legs started to wobble, his arms shivered, his belly began to swell and BANG! he exploded.
 
When all the big people had exploded, the little people cleaned up all the mess and cooked the remains. They had a huge feast to celebrate. The little people built their own city, outlawed beards and lived happily ever after.
