Jack and the beanstalk
Once upon a time there was a poor widow who had an
only son named Jack. They were so poor that they didn’t have anything except a
cow. When the cow had grown too old, his mother sent Jack to the market to sell
it. On the way to the market, Jack met a butcher who had some beautiful beans
in his hand. The butcher told the boy that the beans were of great value and
persuaded the silly fad to sell the cow for the beans.
Jack brought them happily. When he told his mother
about this, his mother became so angry that she threw the beans out of the
window.
When Jack woke up in the morning, he felt the sun
shining into a part of his room but all the rest was quite dark and shady.
So he jumped to the window. What did he see? The
beanstalk grew up quite close past Jack’s window. He opened the window and
jumped to the beanstalk which ran up just like a big ladder.
He climbed … and climbed till at last he reached the
sky. While looking around, he saw a very huge castle. He was very amazed.
Then Jack walked along the path leading to the castle.
There was a big tall woman on the doorstep. Jack greeted her and asked for the
giantess mercy to give him breakfast, because he felt very hungry. Although the
giantess grumbled at first, finally she gave Jack a hunk of bread and cheese
and a jug of milk.
Jack hadn’t finished when the whole house, began to
tremble with the noise of someone’s coming. “Oh! It’s my husband!” cried the
giantess. “What on earth shall I do?”
Hastily the giantess opened a very big cupboard and
hid Jack there.
