- Hi, my name's Jack and here's my story. My mom and
- I were real poor... so poor, my mom told me to go
- sell our last cow.
-

- On the way to town I met an old wizard. He told me
- he had six beans that were worth twenty cows. What a
- deal! Right?! So I gave him our cow.
-

- I thought Mom would be so happy. Instead, she
- screamed, "You sold our last cow for six lousy beans?"
- She was ticked. She threw the beans out the window.

- The next morning I looked out my window. You
- wouldn't believe what I saw - a giant beanstalk that
- reached to the clouds! I had to climb it. I'm a boy!

- When I got to the top I heard, "You're finally here."
- I almost jumped out of my pants! There was a giant
- woman there talking to me.

- She told me that her husband stole my dad's treasures
- long ago. He stole a singing harp, a bag of silver,
- and a hen that laid golden eggs.

- The lady said, "Now he sits waiting day and night for
- someone to take them back. Hurry! Sneak in while he's
- sleeping."
-
- #008
- I snuck into the giant's castle. He was sound asleep,
- so I grabbed the silver, the chicken and the harp. But
- when I grabbed the harp, it started singing. Oh, great!!

- "Come back here!" yelled the giant. He chased me. I ran
- as fast as I could. The giant kept yelling, "Come back
- here!" I ran to the beanstalk and climbed down.
-

- When I got to the bottom, I saw the giant was right
- behind me. I was so scared! I grabbed an axe and cut
- the beanstalk down. The giant fell with a thud!
-
- #011
- I thought the giant was dead, but he whispered, "I told
- you to come back. I wanted to tell you I was sorry for
- stealing your dad's stuff." I felt so sorry for him.

- That was a long time ago. The giant and his wife moved
- in with us. We share everything, and we'll never let
- money get in the way of friendship ever again.
