Jess and the Bean Root
Jess lived with her mum at the top of a block of flats in a busy street.Outside, there was nowhere safe to play.
Jess spent a lot of time reading. One evening she read the story of Jack and the Beanstalk.
"Wow," thought Jess. "Jack was very lucky. Nothing like that could ever happen to me!"
At suppertime, Jess was eating beans on toast, and thinking about the story.Suddenly, she saw a sparkling golden bean on her fork!
"Wow, look mum," she said. "A golden bean!It could be a magic bean, like the ones in Jack and the Beanstalk!"
Jess took the bean and ran out onto the balcony.
"Stop," said her mum. "What are you doing?"
"I'm going to plant my magic bean in the flower pot," said Jess."It will grow into a giant beanstalk, like Jack's."
Jess dug a hole and dropped the golden bean into it, then covered it with earth.
"You silly girl," said Jess's mum."We could have sold that bean for a lot of money! You must find it!"
Jess looked and looked for the bean, but she couldn't find it. "I'm sorry mum," she said.
"You can look for it again in the morning," her mum replied. Jess went bed, feeling very sad. Sorry mum.
In the middle of the night, Jess woke up. She could hear a noise.The noise went "Thump, Thump, Thump!"
"My beanstalk is growing after all!" Jess thought."I'm going to climb it, all the way up to the giant's castle."She jumped out of bed in excitement.
Jess ran out onto the balcony and looked up into the sky. There was no beanstalk.Jess was disappointed but she could still hear the noise. Where was it coming from?The noise went, "Thump, Thump, Thump". It was getting quieter and quieter.Jess looked down. What a surprise she got!
There was a huge root growing down through the floor of the balcony.It had made a huge hole.Now it was thumping its way down through all the balconies of all the flats underneath.That was the noise that Jess had heard.
