Lucky Bean?

I received this "bonsai" recently. I know nothing about it, and no search has brought anything up.

Any info would be most helpful.

I don't know what the green things at the bottom are? At first I thought they were decoration, but upon closer inspection I'm not so sure.

Yes! That seems to be it. I am looking for information now. I am hoping to find some info on how to trim and care for it as a bonsai. I bought it at a chain grocers, on clearance, so I expect it is pretty common.
