“I am overcome by too many tasks,” I say.

　　“Honey, you just take it bit by bit,” she says, and she reminds me about the green beans.

　　When I was a little kid I hated green beans. But my mom said I couldn’t leave the table until I ate ten green beans. All alone at the table, I stared at the green beans for what seemed like hours. It was a mountain of green beans. I couldn’t do it.

　　My grandma came to me and asked if I could eat one green bean.

　　“But Grandma, I have to eat ten!”

　　She said all I had to do was to eat one green bean. One tiny little green bean. So I ate one. It was bad, but not as bad as I’d thought it would be. Then she asked me again if I could eat one. So I ate one green bean nine more times.

　　My grandma doesn’t know about the envelopes, but she tells me anyone can do one thing every day.

　　Back in my room, I lay down on the bed. Just like I used to do when I was a little kid, I hang my head down to look at the pile of envelopes. There it is. But instead of a monster, I see a pile of green beans. Who’s afraid of green beans?
