Hello Everyone,

#SpillTheBeans-4.jpg

Welcome to another week of our #SPILLTHEBEANS Contest. These previous weeks have been excellent, and last week we got creative in fighting to preserve our favourite crop, as coffee is life, on any planet.
Well done all!
Thank you to everyone who has participated so far, and we invite those of you who might be thinking about it to join in.

Please watch this short video to discover the winner of last week's contest :)

All the entries showed creativity and originality which made it a great contest, but these two top stories covered all the elements and the winning story had the edge that made it a really beautiful read.

Thanks again for raising the bar peeps!

See this week's topic below, with a countdown timer that needs to be observed for the deadline of entries. The entry deadline for posts ends on Wednesday, with the countdown timer at the top and the bottom of this post, guiding you to the cut-off time.
Late entries will be muted!

This is a creative writing exercise, therefore you can weave your story however you like, but it MUST revolve around the topic presented.

Have fun peeps!

💡You could adjust the title accordingly:

"The Sacred Tea" or "The Sacred Coffee".

(Plain text)

POST TOPIC: "The Sacred Tea"

You're traveling with an expedition in the jungle when a storm hits. You and your party take refuge in a small hut or cabin in the jungle forest with an old wise man who lives there. At night you are all sitting around his fireplace and he begins to tell you the story of a sacred tea (or coffee) said to be found deep within the jungle.

What story did the man tell?

Here is a link with some Creative Writing Tips and #Spillthebeans Writing Tips.

⚠️

IMPORTANT NOTICE ALL

Please see the guidelines.
For this creative writing Contest, ONLY ENGLISH MUST be presented. You can use your translator, but it should not be included in your post.
Please read the guidelines carefully.

Screenshot 2022-07-31 at 18.43.43.png

Please see messages from the Judges, in this post, advising that both only read and speak English.

This language rule is specifically for all contest entries.

Any post that has dual language will be muted without notification, simply because the contest is time-sensitive, and judges will not be able to notify each participant to edit a post, as following the guidelines is a pre-requisite for a valid entry.

Dual language posts prompt other authors to comment on your post in their native language.
Please note that engagement on your post counts, but ONLY if judges (community team) are able to comprehend what is written.

Thank you for your understanding.

To my coffee loving friends, I need to extend my thanks for your support. I feel really honoured to get the win in this wonderful contest. It's certainly becoming one of my favourite spaces to jump onto each week. Thanks to our mods for their time and effort in supporting this corner of Hive.

This week, I loved that you decided to take us on an adventure to the jungle, dropping my entry below:

I liked this story that despite the fact that it does not have a happy ending it is interesting to see that the person had good feelings and helped another person who unfortunately did not help him, I wish there was a second part. Cheers
