Jack's
mother tells him "We are so poor that we have no money to
buy carrots. You will have to take the cow to market and sell
her."
|
On
the way to market Jack met a stranger who offered to buy the cow.
Jack was a bit of a lazy bunny and thought that this would save
him from walking all the way to market and back. So he accepted
the stranger's offer of 3 magic beans in exchange for the cow.

|
Jack's
mum was understandably furious that he hadn't come home with the
money to buy carrots. She told Jack off and threw the beans out
of the window. Jack was ashamed of himself.
|
The
next morning, in the garden, the magic beans had grown into a
giant beanstalk. Thinking that his mum might moan a bit about
the new addition to her garden, Jack climbed up the beanstalk
to get out of her way
|

|
Jack
was a bit puffed out when he reached the top of the beanstalk
and found a house to ask for a drink of water. The kindly woman
also gave him some nice veggies to eat and told him about her
horrible husband and how much time he spent looking after his
pet goose which could lay golden eggs.
|
Jack
saw his opportunity for riches and endless supplies of carrots
and set out in search for the goose. No sooner than he had the
goose tucked safely under his paw, than the ground began to shake
- THUD THUD....A giant voice boomed out "Fe fo fi fum, I
smell the blood of an English bun, be he live or be he dead, I'll
grind his bones to make my bread"
|
|
|
|
|
Jack
didn't like the sound of that, so he ran as fast as he could to
the beanstalk and clambered down. It wasn't easy to hang onto
the beanstalk and the goose too.
|
Jack
reached the bottom of the beanstalk, handed the goose to his mother
and chomped his way through the bottom of the beanstalk with his
super sharp teeth.
|
|
|
|
|
Jack
and his mother lived happily ever after. The goose laid a golden
egg every day and they bought as many carrots as they could eat.
