JACK'S TALE
JACK'S TALE
Howdy!I'm Jack.Mom and I used to be poor.We didn't have much except one cow.
One day, Mom said, "We have no money for food.We'll have to sell the cow."
So I took the cow to market.On the way, I met a funny little man.
"If you give me your cow," said the man, "I'll give you five magic beans."
"What do they do?" I asked.
"Wait and see," said the man."But know this, Jack. They're magic."
He knew my name!I love magic!I traded the cow for those beans and ran home as fast as I could.
"What did you get for the cow?" Mom asked.
Proudly, I showed her four of the magic beans.The fifth was stuck deep in my pocket.
Mom was hopping mad.Hoo-wee!She threw those beans out the window.
During the night, the magic beans grew and grew.When I woke the next day, I saw a beanstalk that reached into the clouds.
I climbed it.Up and up.At the top I found a castle!
Sure, I went inside.I wanted to look around, but the floor began to shake and rumble.
I hid in a cupboard.Nearby, a voice roared, "Fee-fi-fo-fum, I smell the blood of an Englishman!
Be he alive or be he dead, I'll grind his bones to make my bread!"
I peeked around the cupboard door.I saw a goose.And a giant!
The giant sat down and ate a huge meal of doughnuts.He fed one to the goose.Then the giant fell asleep.
While he slept, that goose laid a perfect golden egg.Then another.
