Jack and the Beanstalk 

The Wonderful Beans 

Once upon a time there was a poor woman who had a son named Jack. One day she said, “My son, we have no money for bread. You must take our cow to market and sell her.” So Jack started off to market with the cow. On the way he met a man who had some bright-colored beans in his hands.

“My boy, do you want to sell your cow?” asked the man. “I am going to market to sell her,” said Jack. “I have some very wonderful beans,” said the man. “They are worth more than diamonds. I will give them to you if you will give me your cow.” “Very well,” said the boy. he gave the cow to the man and took the beans home.

When his mother saw the beans, she began to cry. “Our cow is gone,” she said, “and these beans are worth nothing!” She threw the beans into the garden. What a strange sight Jack saw the next morning! There was a beanstalk as thick as a tree and so tall it reached from the earth to the sky!

“I knew those were wonderful beans!” cried the boy. “Perhaps I can find some food at the top of the beanstalk. I will climb up to see.”

Jack Climbs the Beanstalk

Up and up Jack climbed, u til the earth was far below. But still the top of the beanstalk was high above him. By and by he stopped to rest. Then he thought of his poor, hungry mother, and he climbed higher and higher. After a long time Jack reached the top of the wonderful beanstalk.

“What a beautiful country!” he cried. Near by he saw a castle fine enough for a king. While he was looking at it, a fairy came and stood beside him. “See that beautiful castle!” said the fairy. “I will tell you a story about it. Once a good king and his queen lived in that castle with their little son.

“Not far away lived a great giant, who wanted the king’s gold. So one night he broke into the castle and killed the king as he lay asleep. The queen had taken the little boy to the earth below for a visit. When she heard that the king had been killed, she was afraid to go back to the castle. So the queen and her son stayed on the earth and lived in a little house. Jack, that poor queen is your mother!”

“My dear mother! My poor father!” cried Jack. “All the things in this castle were your father’s” said the fairy. “Are you afraid to try to get them back?” “I am not afraid of anything.” said the young boy. “It is worth trying.” “Then go to the castle,” said the fairy. “Get the hen that lays golden eggs, and the magic harp that talks.”

Jack went up the path and knocked at the castle door. The giant’s wife opened it at once. “Go away!” said the woman. “Don’t you know that a giant lives here? He will kill you if he sees you. Here he comes now! Quick! Hide in that little room!” Just as Jack hid himself, the big giant came into the castle. He was so heavy that he made all the tables and chairs shake as he walked.

The giant looked all around the room. Then he growled in a deep, gruff voice, “Wife, wife, I smell a boy in the castle! Where is he?” “You smell only the meat that I have cooked for your supper,” said his wife. “Sit down and eat.” When the giant was through eating, he growled, “Wife, bring the magic hen!” His wife brought the hen and put it on the table. “Lay, good hen!” cried the giant.

At once the hen laid a golden egg. “Lay again!” said the giant, and the hen laid a second golden egg. Then the giant put the three eggs into his pocket and soon fell fast asleep. Now Jack had been peeping through a crack in the door, and he had seen the wonderful hen. “There is the hen that the fairy told me to get!” he thought.

So, while the giant was asleep, Jack crept softly out of the little room. Without making a sound, he took the magic hen and ran from the castle. In a minute he reached the beanstalk. Soon he was safe on the earth below. How happy his mother was when she saw the hen that laid golden eggs!
