The Bell Wart

A long long time ago, there was a man who worked in a bread shop. He was
afflicted with chronic generosity to the extreme. Every time someone
would come into the shop to buy some bread, he was so utterly and
totally overwhelmed by the urge to feed the impoverished, downtrodden
and hungry masses, that he would slap down his hand on the service
handbell with a big beaming smile and exclaim, "FREEEEEE
BREEEAAAAAD!!!!!"

He did this so often and regularly that he developed an insidious wart
on the palm of his hand from all the continual generous bell ringing and
free-bread-giving.

Years later, when the shop had gone out of business for lack of actual
sales, he was treated with a medicinal seed which caused the wart on the
palm of his hand to shrink, disappear, and be healed completely. He also
(for some reason) began to pinch his soveriegns and not give to every
beggar that crossed his path. He was no longer overly-generous, although
he was able to practice a reasonable level of philanthropy with a sober
mind filled with discretion.

The wonderous healing seed came to be known as "The cure for bell wart",
which over time has been shortened to the current usage, "Bellwort". It
is now the standard healing protocol for Generosity (and bell warts),
amongst other things.
