[I'm Sorry I Never Really Believed," I Said. "Not The Way Jack Did.""It Doesn't Make Any Difference," My Mother Replied. Her Eyes Focused On The Beanstalk For A Moment, Then Returned To Mine. "You Believe Now. Be Safe And Smart Up There, My Gen. Be Yourself."Before I Could Answer, My Mother Turned Away And Walked Quickly Toward The House. I Turned To Face The Beanstalk.There Is No Going Back Now, I Thought.For Better Or Worse, There Was Only Going Forward. There Was Only Going Up.

At the very outside, cartridges cost 25 cents each, so every time I fired one I got my investment back twelve times over. I could kill a hundred a day.... That would be $6,000 a month -- or three times what was paid, it seems to me, the President of the United States. Was I not lucky that I discovered this quick and easy way to fortune? I thought I was.
