E.X.O.C.E.T. by Amanda Oosthuizen

Trade took place in Concrete House
Every Sister held Pomegranate
Concrete House absorbed Pomegranate
Old Quark never existed even though he lived at top of Concrete House
Xanthe didn’t have Sister so lived in Tree on Outskirts
Every Sister envied Xanthe
Xanthe sold Leaves to Every Sister
Old Quark tried to cut down Tree even though he never existed
Concrete House had more rooms full of Pomegranate than Leaves
Every Sister sold Leaves to Old Quark even though he never existed
Trade ceased when Tree was cut
