Jack and the Beanstalk

Jack and his mother did not have very much money. At last the day came when they needed to sell the one cow they had in order to¹ buy bread. So Jack’s mother sent him to market to sell the cow and try to get a lot of money for it. Jack was lazy and didn’t like the long walk to market. On the way he met a man who looked at the cow. “I’ll give you these beans for your cow,” said the man. The beans were blue, black and red. “They are very special beans.” Jack was not always very clever. He took the beans and the man took the cow. When Jack came home with the beans and no money or food

his mother was not very happy. She threw the beans into the garden. Both Jack and his mother went to bed hungry.

Next morning when Jack woke up and went into the garden he was very surprised at what he found. He ran back into the house to tell his mother. “The beans have grown,” he said. “Their stalks have made a sort of ladder. You can’t see the end of the stalks because they are so tall. They are higher than the clouds.”

Jack ran into the garden again. “I wonder¹ where the end is,” he said to himself. “I’ll climb up and see.”

So Jack climbed up and up and up. Above the clouds he came to the door of a great palace and there stood a tall giantess. “What do you want and where do you come from? Don’t you know my hus­band is a giant and he eats little boys?” “Oh please. I’m so hungry. Could I have something to eat?” “Are you that lazy son of the woman in the house down below? I think you came here to take back the harp that talks and the hen that lays the golden eggs.” “The harp that talks and the hen that lays the golden eggs?” “Yes, my husband took them from your father years and years ago just before he died. He took some money, too. He won’t give them back you know. Remember, he’s a giant and you’re only a boy. But you’re strong and I need somebody to work for me. Come in. I’ll give you breakfast.” “Yes, I’m very, very hungry.”

“But when my husband the giant comes in you must hide. Get into the great oven. Quickly! Here he comes. Into the oven. He’ll never look there.”

There was a lot of noise and in came the biggest giant you could ever see.

“Wife, is there anybody here? I’ll eat him for my dinner.” “There’s nobody here. I’ve made a meat pie for your dinner. Eat it all. It’s delicious. There is beef in it and a lot of onions.”

After dinner the giant took out his gold and started to count it. Then he went to sleep. Jack came out of the oven, took the bags of money and ran to the beanstalk. He climbed down as fast as he could to his own garden. His mother was so happy to see him and to get the money back.

After a week Jack decided to climb the beanstalk again. He wanted to find the harp that talks and the hen that lays the golden eggs. Jack’s mother told him to be very careful because the giant was very dangerous. Jack climbed up and up and came to the door

of the palace. He saw the giantess but she did not sec him. She was busy in the kitchen. Jack hid in the cupboard.
