Once: a game of mud

Once, the ancient man and his adventurous grandson made a game, looking all through the yard and woods behind for critters to study. They laughed and made so much noise and fun, that soon the boy’s mother, the man’s daughter, came to see what it was all about. She joined in the fun and crawling around, getting the knees of her favorite white pants full of mud. “I’ll never get that out,” she said. That night they all three had dreams about the mud and using the sap from several trees in the woods to get out the stain. For weeks they mixed saps and ideas and finally found a combination that worked on all manner of stains. Mother found a way to make big batches, grandfather devised a marketing plan, grandson sold many many bottles of the stuff, and they lived happily together.
