Jack and the beanstalk Story

Once upon a time there was a boy called J ack. He lived with his
mother. They were very poor. All they had was a cow.

One morning, J acks mother told J ack to take their cow to
market and sell her. On the way, J ack met a man. He gave J ack
some magic beans for the cow.

J ack took the beans and went back home. When J acks mother
saw the beans she was very angry. She threw the beans out of
the window.

The next morning, J ack 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. J ack saw a
beautiful castle. He went inside.

J ack heard a voice. Fee, Fi, Fo, Fum! J ack 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. Soon the giant
was asleep.

J ack 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! J ack ran
and started climbing down the beanstalk. The giant came down
after him.

J ack shouted, Mother, help! J acks 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, J ack and his mother
lived happily ever after.
