Title: The Enchanted Gum of Highgrove
In the kingdom of Highgrove, where swords clashed and magic fluttered like sparkles in the wind, lived a rotund fellow known only as Culbert. Over the years, Culbert had procured a reputation for his insatiable appetite which, eclipsed only by his congenial demeanor, made him notorious amongst the taverns and feasting halls.
One droll autumn day, as the leaves began to change to hues of copper and gold, a traveling peddler named Marius arrived in Highgrove. His cart was brimming with mundane trinkets and curious oddities from lands unseen, but it was an obscure little item, a gum of sorts, which caught Culbert’s eye.
Marius, eager to make a sale, leaned in and whispered, "Purposeful Feast-Gum, my friend, an arcane recipe from the depths of Norselands. One chew will fill you as a banquet would. But beware, as this substance is known to impart...certain side effects, and it’s recommended in modest quantities."
Culbert, whose eyes lit up like the morning sun at the prospect of ceaseless feasting, hastily procured the gum without concern for the warning.
He wasted no time tucking a block of gum into his mouth. Exotic flavors exploded on his palate, from succulent roast to the sweet notes of melon, always followed by a tinge of spice. Amazed, he chewed down block after block, too enticed by the flavor to stop and heed the peddler’s warning.
As he binged on the enchanted gum, a peculiar feeling befell him. He began to inflate, his midsection bloating like a giant balloon with every chew. His clothes strained against his expanding belly, seams popping, buttons flying.
But this intense swelling only represented the first phase of the gum's mystic effects. The secondary side effect crashed upon him like an unexpected wave, as a hot, tumbling bloat rushed through his belly, amassing into a monstrous expulsion of wind.
The intensity of Culbert's newfound flatulence brought him a curious type of notoriety. Whether it was the melodic whistling that dawned with every release, or the scent of sweet pastries that it carried, it became as much a legend as he was.
In time, Culbert's unique peculiarity made him the centerpiece of Highgrove's local tales and traditions. Visitors came from far to witness the 'Musical Man-Mountain.' Tavern bards composed songs honoring his thunderous releases, and his immense size was interpreted as a symbol of prosperity and good luck.
And so, our plump friend Culbert, through his colossal weight gain and melodious gasses, became an unlikely legend. The legacy of the enchanted gum and the man who couldn't resist its allure traveled far and wide, forever immortalized in the annals of Highgrove.
