Jack and The Beanstalk

 

Once upon a time lived a boy called Jack. He lived with his mother and they were very poor. All they had was a cow.  

One morning, Jack’s mother said, „We must sell the cow.“.

 On the way to the market, Jack met a man. He gave Jack some magic beans for the cow.  

Jack took the beans and went back home. <

 „The beans?!“, asked him the mother. She was very angry and she threw the beans out of the window.  

The next morning, Jack looked out of the window. There was a giant beanstalk. He went outside and started to climb the beanstalk.  

He climbed up to the sky through the clouds where Jack saw a beautiful castle. He went inside.  

Jack heard a voice. “Fee, Fi, Fo, Fum!” Jack ran into a cupboard.  

An enormous giant came into the room and sat down. On the table there was a hen and a golden harp.  

 “Lay!” said the giant. The hen laid an egg. It was made of gold. “Sing!” said the giant. The harp began to sing. It was the most beautiful sound he had ever heard. Soon the giant was asleep.  

Jack jumped out of the cupboard. He took the hen and the harp. Suddenly, the harp sang, “Help, master!”  

The giant woke up and shouted, “Fee, Fi, Fo, Fum!” Jack ran and started climbing down the beanstalk. The giant came down after him.  

Jack shouted, “Mother, help!” Jack’s mother took an axe and chopped down the beanstalk. The giant fell and crashed to the ground. Nobody ever saw him again.  

With the golden eggs and the magic harp, Jack and his mother lived happily ever after.
