The bean, a bean named Bob, has taken up residence in the local general store, taunting the villagers with its very presence.
Villagers have tried everything to get rid of it - from burning it at the stake to offering it as a prize-winning entry in the county fair - but Bob remains steadfast, a constant thorn in their side.
Some say it's a harbinger of doom, a harbinger of the horrors that await us all. Others claim it's just a bean with an attitude.
But one thing is certain: Bob the bean will not be silenced.
