Once, a boy named Jack went to the market to sell his cow. On the way, he met an old man who bought his cow and gave him some magic beans. He planted the beans. The next morning, a giant beanstalk stood in front of his house. Jack climbed the beanstalk and reached a giant’s house in the sky. He saw the giant with a hen. The hen laid golden eggs. When the giant fell asleep, Jack grabbed the chance and ran away with the hen. But the giant woke up and started running after him. Jack quickly reached the beanstalk and started climbing down. The giant followed him too. As soon as Jack reached the ground, he took an axe and cut the beanstalk. Thud came the beanstalk crashing down and along with it came the giant! He was crushed to death. Jack became very rich with the hen’s eggs. He and his mother lived happily.
