Farmer Ray's Potato Farm

Every year came the potatoes to Farmer Ray and Jo's farm. Normally this would be a good thing, but these potatoes were unwelcome. Farmer Ray liked carrots and cauliflower and Farmer Jo had raspberries and blueberries and apple trees. Neither of them had planted potatoes ever since that year. The year that the potatoes had come.
At first Farmer Ray had only found a few small potatoes amongst his carrots and cauliflower. He had thought they were perhaps left over from the last farmer. He pulled them out, and ate them, and decided that that would be that.
The next year, Farmer Ray found more potatoes amongst his carrots and cauliflower. He pulled them out again, and ate them again. When he planted the carrots and cauliflower he made extra sure that there weren't any potatoes that would grow again.
The year after that, the potatoes grew not only amongst Farmer Ray's carrots and cauliflower, but also in between the raspberries and blueberries that Farmer Jo spent so much time looking after. There were so many of them that Farmer Ray and Jo put them into big potato sacks and sold them at the market. When people asked them what kind of potatoes they were selling, they shrugged and said, Mystery potatoes. Sometimes when they said this, it sounded like giggling noises came from the potato sacks, but Farmer Ray and Jo were sure this was just in their imagination.
Every year the potatoes kept appearing, bigger and bigger and always more numerous. Farmer Ray and Jo learned to just accept that the potatoes would come. Eventually the carrots and cauliflower and raspberries and blueberries and apple trees became fewer and fewer as the potatoes grew and grew. Farmer Ray and Jo became known as Potato Farmers at the market, and became famous for their Mystery potatoes, which tasted like no other potatoes in the land.
