"Nonsense, dear," said his wife, "we haven't had a boy for breakfast in years. ![]() He ducked inside the kitchen and said, "I'm ready for my breakfast - I'm so hungry I could eat three cows. Here, come quick and jump in here." And she hurried Jack into a large copper pot sitting beside the stove just as her husband, the giant, came in. "Goodness gracious me! It's my husband," said the giant woman, wringing her hands, "what on earth shall I do? There's nothing he likes better than boys broiled on toastĪnd I haven't any bread left. But Jack had only taken a fewīites when thump! thump! thump! the whole house began to tremble with the noise of someone coming. She took Jack into the kitchen, and gave him a chunk of cheese and a glass of milk. Well, the lady giant wasn't such a bad sort, after all - even if she was a bit odd. "Don't be in such a hurry, I'm sure a growing boy like you would like a nice, big breakfast," said the great, big, tall woman, "It's been so long since I got to make breakfast for a boy." Jack ran up the road toward the castle and just as he reached it, the door swung open to reveal a horrible lady giant, with one great eye in the middle of her forehead.Īs soon as Jack saw her he turned to run away, but she caught him, and dragged him into the castle. Through the clouds to a tall, square castle off in the distance. And when he got there he found a long, broad road winding its way Using the leaves and twisty vines like the rungs of a ladder, Jack climbed and climbed until at last, he reached the sky. And what do you think he saw? Why, the beans he had thrown out of the window into the garden had sprung up into a big beanstalk which went up and up and So Jack jumped up andĭressed himself and went to the window. The sun was shining into part of it like it normally did, and yet all the rest was quite dark and shady. When Jack woke up the next morning, his room looked strange. Jack ran upstairs to his little room in the attic, so sorry he was, and threw the beans angrily out the window thinking, "How could I have been so foolish - I've broken my mother's heart." After much tossing and turning, at last Jack dropped off to sleep. "Oh, silly boy! How could you give away our milking cow for three measly beans." And with that she did the worst thing Jack had ever seen her do - she burst Jack smiled and reached into his pocket, "Just look at these beans, mother they're magical, plant them over-night and-" "Back already, Jack?" asked his mother "I see you haven't got Old Bess - you've sold her so quickly. "Well that sounds fair," said Jack, as he handed over Bessy's halter, pocketed the beans and headed back home to show his mother. "I am indeed! And if it doesn't turn out to be true you can have your cow back." "Really?" said Jack, "and you're quite sure they're magical?" "And because you're such a good boy, they're all yours in trade for that old milking cow." One, two, three! So magical are they, that if you plant them over-night, by morning they grow right up to the sky," promised theįunny little man. "Three magical bean seeds to be exact, young man. "Beans?" asked Jack, looking a little confused. The little, old man looked around to make sure no one was watching and then opened his hand to show Jack what he held. "Well what a helpful son you are!" exclaimed the man, "I have a special deal for such a good boy like you." "I'm going to market to sell our cow, Bessy." "Where are you off to this fine morning?" asked the man. "Good morning to you," said Jack, wondering how the little, old man knew his name. He hadn't gone far when he met a funny-looking, old man who said to him, "Good morning, So Jack took the cow's halter in his hand, walked through the garden gate and headed off toward town. "All right, mother," said Jack, "it's market-day today. Money buy enough seed to plant a good crop." ![]() "We don't have enough money to buy seed for the farm this year!
