Finish the story begins with: “She lived in a mango tree.” And was insanely jealous of the others in the street. Marcy McMango felt like the poor cousin. Next door the Beachams lived in their beech tree. Her one desire in life was to live in a beech tree along with the rolling surf and the sandy beaches. She’d been lumbered with a mango tree, which every year bore the one fruit she hated. Not only that but in summer when they were in season the weight of the fruit caused he branches to bend and at times during the summer storms she’d be out pulling fruit from the over laden branches for fear the whole tree-house would collapse.
She was also envious of the Oakwoods and the Olives whose majestic homes held pride of place in the neighbourhood.
One night her sense of want overcame her and taking her trusty chain saw attacked the Beachams only to be swallowed by the rising tide.

How can anyone not like mango?
The world is made up odd people Keith. Thanks for stopping by.
Silly woman! Fancy not liking mangoes 😮 She could have made a fortune if she’d played her cards er… mangoes right. The first tray of mangoes auctioned last year at the Sydney fruit market, went for $26,000. I love the look of the house though.
Thank Lyn, you have to wonder don’t you.
I agree who doesn’t like mangoes! Quirky story Michael, enjoyed.
Thank you Jenny just where my mind went tonight.
Ha, ha. Beachams, Oakwoods, and Olives. Wonderful story.
Thank you so much tnkerr, have a great day…
The grass is always greener or the leaves are always greener on the other tree. Very fanciful.
Thank you Deborah, have a great day…
You are welcome. Nice job!
Loved the puns! 😀
Thanks for stopping Nortina, have a great day.
Haha! This was a cute story. I loved how you named the tree inhabitants by the tree they lived in. Sounds like the Beachams got the last laugh!
Yes Joy I think they did….a lot of fun as always…
WoW! I was not expecting that one!! karma!
Thanks Oliana yes it can get you in the end. Lovely having you stop by.
🙂
Lovely story, great use of names!
Thanks so much Sally….have a great day…
Those poor Beacham’s! What Marcy McMango does not realize are the unusual properties of the mango. Did you know that it makes ones bark like a dog followed by incessant scratching the sides? She should leave a boat load at the Beacham’s door! Thank you for participating in the Mondays Finish the Story challenge. Be well… ^..^
I’ll see what I can do Barb…..Marcy is not a happy camper at all….hope you are doing ok this week.
India would be in trouble if more people didn’t like mangoes. I myself love them. Sad to hear she drowned. I wonder who’ll live in her tree now. 🙂 — Suzanne
Jealousy will get you no where. Well done!
Thanks so much Roger
