Jack and the
Beanstalk
Once upon a time in a country far away
Was a boy called
Jack who really liked to play
He lived with his mummy in
a tiny house
They were both as poor as
a little church mouse
Jack and his mummy also had a pet cow,
but she'd grown too big and far too loud
She should go to a farm, his mummy said.
Jack grabbed the cow and off he did head.
This is boring,
Jack grumbled and moaned.
He had to drag
Plum
Cow along the road.
Then a strange old man said, I'll buy your cow,
here's some magic beans.
And
Jack said, oh wow!
When
Jack got home, his
mummy was not pleased.
She yelled, you sold our pet
cow for some beans?
She chucked the magic beans right
out of the window.
Poor
Jack cried and cried into his pillow.
When
Jack woke up next morning,
he gawped.
Outside, they had sprouted
a giant beanstalk.
It was huge and green and twirled up high.
It whirled and swirled right into the sky.
Gadzooks! said
Jack and started to climb.
Climbing up the beanstalk
took some time.
Fluffy white clouds stuck to his hair.
Then, he saw a castle floating in the air!
The big door of the castle was open wide,
so
Jack decided to sneak inside.
There was a humongous table and chair,
and on a plate, the biggest ever pear!
Suddenly,
Jack heard a loud
STOMP
CRASH!
He hid behind the door,
quick as a flash.
A scary giant stomped into
the room.
WHERE'S
MY
BREAKFAST?
The giant did boom.
He picked up the pear.
Yuck!
Eat this lump!
Then his nostrils began to twitch and jump.
Fee -fi -fo -fum!
I smell the blood of an
Englishman!
I'll eat you as soon as I can!
Near the table,
Jack saw an open cage.
In it, sparkled something
special and strange.
A golden goose with golden feathers!
Sitting on a gold egg,
what a treasure!
Quickly,
Jack slammed the front door.
The giant saw him and charged with a
Roar!
Jack opened it again and the giant ran out
Jack grabbed the goose
Got you!
He did shout
Roar!
The giant turned and charged again
Jack slipped through the
giant's hairy legs then
He ran fast as lightning, holding
Goosey tight
He dashed and sprinted with all his might.
Down the twirly -whirly beanstalk
Jack went,
sliding down it s stem in
quick descent.
Watch out!
The goose did honk and squawk.
The giant was chasing them down
the stalk.
Jack scrambled down all
the way to the ground.
He put down
Goose and looked around.
A shiny axe!
At the beanstalk,
Jack whacked.
He cut the green stem until it cracked.
From high above came an angry
HOWL!
The giant was trapped among
the clouds.
He held onto the stalk
as it blew away.
Nobody saw him after that day.
Jack's mummy ran out and
hugged him tight.
He said,
I met a giant and won a fight!
After that, they al ways
had enough money.
And for breakfast, golden eggs with honey!
