Jack and the Beanstalk Scamper
Jack and the Scientist
Once upon a time there was a poor widow who had an only son named Jack. She was very poor, for times had been hard, and Jack was too young to work. Almost all the furniture in the little cottage she lived in had been sold to buy food.
She had a cow named Milky White that gave milk every morning, which they took to market and sold. But one sad day Milky White gave no milk and they had nothing to sell.
“Don’t worry mother” said Jack, “I’ll go into town and sell Milky White. You can rely on me to make a good bargain”, and away he went to the market.
On his way to the market he came across a butcher.
“Good morning.” Said the butcher
“Good morning to you,” said Jack.
“Where are you off to?” said the butcher.
“I’m going to market to sell our cow there,” said Jack
"It's lucky I met you," said the butcher.
"You may save yourself the trouble of going into town."
He put his hand into the pouch hanging his waist, and pulled out five large, sparkly, chocolate brown beans.
"What do you call these?" the butcher said.
"Beans," said Jack.
“Yes” the butcher replied
“But these aren’t just ordinary beans. They’re magic beans that grow as high as the sky. But to save you the trouble of going all the way to market, I don't mind trading them for that cow of yours."
Jack thought this was a wonderful idea and boldly accepted the butchers offer.
When Jack got home and told his mother of what a wonderful trade he thought he had made she was so angry she told Jack to go straight to bed and threw the beans out the window.
When he woke up the next morning his room was almost dark. Jack ran to his window to see what was wrong. The sun was shining brightly outside, but from the ground right up beside his window there was growing an immense beanstalk, which stretched up and up as far as he could see, into the sky. Jack went outside to get a better look at the beanstalk but was overwhelmed with temptation to climb it. I’ll just climb up a little way
